Ever driven the Blue Ridge Pkwy and stayed in or near the Smoky Mtns National Park ?
The Greenbrier Resort in WV is one of the finest hotels in the US. Spendy though

Outer Banks, NC. Nice beaches, chartered fishing. They have the Wright Brothers musuem and monument where they had their first flight in Kitty Hawk. i think they have some nice golf courses too. Cape Hatteras lighthouse isn't too far depending on where you stay.
Ocean City, MD. Great beaches, small town feel. Many nightclubs/bars and restaurants. They have a nice boardwalk with a lot of shops and stores and an amusement park on it. You can go to Aseteague (sp?) Island and see the wild ponies they have living on the island. If you talk to some locals you can find great, fresh seafood and possibly go crabbing if you find the right person who can hook you up. Golfing too.
edit- I didn't see the semptember thing, so some or all of that may be out. i guess just depending on the weather.

Well..you can go visit Hotzie on Sept 10-11 for the Maine Air Show...
I have a vacation house in Bar Harbor...September is fairly dead and boring. I'd stay more south like the Portland area...maybe even the Kennebunkport area.
I think AAP is going to invade Wells/Oqunquit.....so you may want to avoid that area.
You miss the lobster festivals by one month. You are one month too early for the changing of the leaves here in Maine.

PA coal region is nice. We have coal, overburden, pits, and black lung.
The low country of SC, Charleston, Beaufort areas are beautiful that time of year. There is the hurricane season to worry about, but for the most part SC tends to dodge them. For food, sights, history, etc., Charleston can't be beat. If you're looking for an old fashion type of beach town then Folly beach, outside of Charleston is the place. Very small town, not too developed, but close enough to Charleston that you can go into town for the night for dinner.

Really?
The Hamptons are the best in Sept - only the hardcore people are out and all the party house weekender wanna be super stars are back to the bridges and tunnels.
And the weather is still fabulous.
Huh, you could just come to the Hamptons.
You can do all the same things here that you can do in Bar harbor.

Hey jacked....if you stay in Southern Maine...you can make quick trips to New Hampshire in 1 to 2 hours depending on where you go....
Or 2 to 2.5 hours to Boston via the Amtrak DownEaster...You pick up the T and end up near Fanueil Hall....
Or take the Cat to Nova Scotia for a day trip....

For relaxation, the OBX are hard to beat. Go South, though. North is to damn busy.

Actually. Give me my old YZ250 and I'll bet I could have some fun there.
