If you could visit any U.S. city in late March, what city would you choose?

I hear ya, but would i survive if there is a cold snap? (the poster does not have Shuck's extra padding for protection)

 

I have some extra padding you can curl up to and keep warm.

Chicago or D.C. - so I could visit their great museums BEFORE the hordes of school children descend upon them during Spring Break and Class trips.

Most generous, and will certainly keep that in mind!

March is a good time to come to Palm Springs. This year it is already sunny and in the 80s, and it's only early February. However, I live here, so I want to go somewhere else. This year I am going to Austin in late March, because that is usually a good time for Texas weatherwise.

Charleston >Beaufort>Savannah>St. Augustine

March is a difficult month for me to travel but if I could, New Orleans, DC, & Ft Lauderdale are on my wish list of places to go domestically that I have yet to travel.

The Southwest. Weather in late March should be very nice. Lots of activities available both indoors and outside. Probably help if the forum members had a better idea of your interests.

 

Rent a car and make a loop that includes LA, San Diego and Vegas.

 

LA has Hollywood, Universal Studios, Disneyland (you’re never too old).

SDiego has an amazing zoo, Seaworld, tours of Scripps Institute.

Vegas has… well Vegas. But there are lots of things to do besides visit casinos.

 

There are wineries and beaches in SoCal.

 

Don’t overextend yourself by trying to visit too many places during a one week visit. The distances involved can be deceiving.

March in the OC A day trip out the Catalina. A day a Laguna. Perhaps a trip to the Temecula wineries. San Diego is a doable drive. Beach, boating, booty. Bazinga.

Hmmm.....im going to look into santa fe. I could use it as a base and make day (or overnight?) trips. much obliged

Too cold. Below freezing at night.

I agree with many responses. In DC, you may be able to catch the cherry blossom trees. Otherwise, Palm Springs, Key West, or southern Arizona or New Mexico. I did do some skiing ⛷ at Alyeska Resort near Anchorage last March. Where else can you ski at sea level? And I was lucky to see the northern lights. It was really cold, though, like -15C.

And if you're going to Los Angeles, it may be worth your while to visit

• The Getty Center - free admission, no reservation needed and parking is $15
  
• The Getty Villa - free admission, reservation required and parking is $15
  
• Go downtown and visit the Grand Park and have lunch at the Grand Central Market. While you're there, might as well visit MOCA and the Broad Museum. I haven't been to the latter, but if you like contemporary (or is it modern) art, then you should go.
  
• Visit the Huntington Library in Pasadena. Both the library and the gardens are worth it. The Gutenberg Bible alone...

And if you're going to Los Angeles

 

Maybe take a short trip down to Yorba Linda to visit the Nixon Library, or up to Simi Valley to see the Reagan Library. Yes, I'm serious.

All great suggestions!!

Decisions decisions. Currently leaning toward Savannah or st Augustine. Wine country sounds awesome, but I suspect a bit pricey. DC cherry blossoms, sites have appeal, but maybe more hustle and bustle than the traveler wants. Wait........the traveler works in DCo_O
