Contest!

I can say with confidence that exactly one year ago, I was probably doing the same thing I'm doing this evening, at this same time - wondering where in the heck my husband and I are going for our anniversary weekend getaway. Just as last year, it's a surprise!! I don't know WHERE we're going, who's watching my kids or what we're doing while we're there.
So how about a contest?!? Whichever reader's guess is closest to the actual location that we visit, will win (drumroll please!) .....................something created with my own two hands.

Here are the clues:

It's not in California
It's not in Nevada
We are not flying
It's a lengthy drive
We're not leaving the country
We're departing 8 a.m. on Saturday morning
We're returning Tuesday sometime.

I don't have a weather forecast or ANY other clues to give out! You must guess a particular CITY AND STATE to be entered into the contest. One entry per reader please. Leave your answer as a comment on this blog post. Contest ends at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 10th, 2009.

DISCLAIMER - if you are a friend or family member of mine that already KNOWS the actual location, you are not eligible to participate in this contest.
