Mid week is nice sine the prices are lower...
It depends on what you're looking for.

I know Atlantic City mid week prices are very cheap, and you get the beach & gambling/nightlife.

I'm also a big fan of Philadephia since it's a great city with lots of history and alot to see.

But again it depends on what type of vacation you're looking for.

There's an all inclusive resort in PA called Split Rock Resort that I want to go one day.

And I just came across this one last week that looks really nice...

DH and I went to Mystic, CT in December for a long weekend and had a really good time. Lots of cute stores, good restaurants, and interesting places to visit. I bet it's even nicer in the warmer months!
We stayed at The Steamboat Inn and were very pleased.
