Where should my husband and I vacation to, please help?

We live in the Pensacola FL area (panhandle) and we’re thinking mid to late march, so it still needs to be in the south where it will be a bit warmer. We are looking for a romantic and relaxing getaway for about 4-5 days, and don’t want to spend more than 6-700. We would be driving of course, so nothing too far West. Maybe within a 7 hour drive. We were going to go to Gatlinburg TN, which we’ve already been to and love, but I’m concerned what type of weather they’ll be having, and was interested in trying something different. I heard hot springs, AR is nice, but we’re expecting our fist child in August and I can’t get into any hot tubs, or hot springs cause it can hurt the baby :( We wouldn’t mind still being at the beach, but the water will still be kindda chilly, so the town has to have lots to do. Any recommendations?
(not louisianna, we plan on doing that on a weekend, and we are military, so if a base were near by, we could stay on that and save money maybe)
daytona may have been nice, but i just remembered it will be spring break time for kids :( Not very relaxing lol

Do you like the South? Which Southern states do you prefer and not prefer? Why?

I love the South…live there! Born and raised here, and plan to die here (but that’s in another 70+ years.) I’m reppin’ the Lone Star State of TEXAS!!!

My top picks are all of them, except VA, FL, and KY.

Each state in the South has its own character: Texas has more of a western can-do-will-do spirit; Arkansas has hot springs; Louisiana has Cajun culture and gumbo; Mississippi has gorgeous piney woods; Tennessee, country music; Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas have beaches and mountains; Kentucky has the bluegrass and horse farms; Virginia is packed with history; Oklahoma is a lot like Texas, except smaller. Florida is basically Cuba north.

Not to mention, the food, hospitality, neighborly people, and great climate make this the best region in which to live. However, VA and FL have too many yankee transplants, and are really boring outside the major tourist areas. I used to live in KY and did not find the people helpful or neighborly at all, and its winters are cold!

Does anyone have and suggestions for catfishing on Lake Ouachita near Hot Springs, Arkansas?

I’ll be there for a few days next week and would like to get the kids on some cats. I’d also like to float some noodles and jugs at night. I’ll be on the south side, west end. I’ll have a boat, but no depthfinder. I’ll have to use the manual depthfinder…..trotline string and a brick. Any suggestions regarding depth or structure would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
