Go somewhere where you won't be too bored. Like you might be bored in San Francisco, and you'll probably be bored in Miami (no offense).

Maybe not as bored in Seattle or Portland?

Hawaii is technically "in the states", maybe that would be the most exotic.

Just suggestions. Like, I'm guessing you want to go somewhere where you can walk around a lot and there's a cool laid-back vibe and the city is easy to navigate on foot and there's a music scene and youngsters and maybe it has some easily accessible nature surrounding the city that you can explore for a day or two?

Maybe SF would be cool though, it's hard to say.

What does everyone else thing?

Quebec City is awesome. It's beautiful, historic, and there's amazing food and great places to shop.

Quebec City is lovely, but Montreal is better if you're looking for somewhere where there's always something to do. It's very much the kind of place for walking around and finding cool stuff everywhere--lots of music and art and fun things. Also, if Petey can pass for 18, he can take advantage of one of the millions of fine(-ish) bars and SAQs the city has to offer.

Well, you have a huge city in driving distance so I don't know if going to another big city on the other side of the country would be all that great. I know I wouldn't want to spend tons of money or take a vacation to lay out in the sun unless I was going with a bunch of people. Tough choice. I'd say Vegas if you are over 21.

You go west, young man.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Montreal, Vancouver, and Quebec are not in "the states", people. 

Go to Arizona and visit the Grand Canyon and the Petrified Forest.

Go to Arches Nat'l Park in Utah (I still want to do this but I haven't had a chance)

Go to San Francisco and hike for a day in the Muir Woods and spend the rest of your time dodging starving hippies and lunatics.  Go to City Lights Books and go record shopping on the Haight, bro!

Oh man, there are so many awesome places to go that aren't cities.

Go to Yosemite.

Go to Big Sur.

Go to San Luis Obispo and stay at the Madonna Inn and visit Hearst Castle for the tackiest experiences of your life (don't stay at a Motel 6).

Go to Southern California and visit visionary artist shrines at the Salton Sea and Watts Towers in L.A. (you'll need a car though). 

Don't go to Niagara Falls.

Go to Joshua Tree and pretend you're either Graham Parsons or U2, or Jim Morrison, or in the cast of Zabriske Point.  But don't go here in the summer because it'll be so hot you'll feel like you're gonna die and you won't enjoy it.
