+10 to Michigan too. I mentioned earlier on this thread that I'm a native Michigander, and besides Boston I had previously posted

IMO, an excellent, though perhaps mundane getaway. Just sayin’…FWIW (even as a cross-country cyclist)....
One consideration of Boston though, if you are from Ohio, I thnk you would find Boston more "exotic" than Michigan.
