Hi everyone,
My brother lives in San Diego and I live in Chicago - each with our SOs, and each family is expecting a baby in June/July.
We want our two families to meet up somewhere fun in the US in September over Labor Day to introduce each other to each other's babies. We're both expats and I've been to SD, he's been to Chicago, so we'd like to meet somewhere else just for fun while we have a chance (he's moving back home in a year).
I'm having trouble thinking of a fun location to rendezvous. He'll be in Miami the week before our meet-up so doesn't want to be flying all the way to the Pacific NW from there and then back down to SD, even though that would have been my choice of destination (Portland or Seattle). We've both been to NYC.
With our limited knowledge of "the rest of the US" we're not sure where to go, but I'd strongly prefer it to be somewhere with a good walkable downtown so that we don't need to rent cars. Other things we're looking for: nice weather, good restaurants, good scenery - the point is really just to have a good backdrop for the two families getting together.
Any tips, suggestions? I had thought of Nashville...
