DH and I are trying to plan our vacation for late April. A little background: We're from Ohio so two of these places are "drive worthy". As far as vacations go, we like a mix between laid back and sightseeing/shows/etc. We also love trying new foods and restaurants. We're trying to decide between three places for our vacation and have around a $1500-$2000 budget.
Should we go to:
A. Las Vegas - We've never been but DH isn't crazy about flying but we just saw another travelling Cirque du Soleil show and got kinda the itch to see more...
B. The Smokey Mountains/Poconos - Also never been to but I've heard good things about it.. Probably the least excited about this choice..
C. The Finger Lakes - We LOVED our vacation to Traverse City and have heard it's beautiful up there..

Why are you the least excited about B?
I lived in OH until I was 25 and probably went to the Smokey's at least a dozen times. It's one of my favorite vacations--such a variety of trails and sights and within easy reach.
It sounds to me that C is the choice that makes the most sense for you guys, from the information provided.

another vote for C
i didn't love the poconos when we went and the finger lakes are gorgeous! and chock full of wineries if that's your thing
if DH doesn't love flying, i'd save that for a trip he'd be more willing to get on a plane for.
I'm hesitant about the Poconos because I've heard a lot of reviews of people saying "Ehh.. it was okay" but my parents rave about them. However, I'm not my parents type of vacationer...
I do love me some wine though! I went to Napa last September and loved it!
i think the finger lakes would be the perfect blend of sightseeing/wine tasting and relaxing. i was only up there for a weekend but i'd have loved a few more days to lounge on a deck and admire the view! we rented a huge cabin (a house, really) on keuka lake and especially loved heron hill winery. bully hill was good too. i know some of the other girls here have recs for other lakes and wineries.
