Houston, Texas

Gorgeous 70-degree days and the NASA Space Center celebrating the 50th anniversary of our walk on the moon top the list of reasons to head down to the Lone Star state. Lots of other museums, parks, and theaters will give you the perfect, cultural long weekend.

Florence, Italy

Honestly, there's never a bad time to go to Florence. The art! The architecture! When you get sick of the amazing Renaissance city's historical significance, check out the Boboli Gardens. And we're gonna be real here, genuine Italian food's got mashed potatoes beat, hands down.
