As apparently the sole woman on the thread - definitely experiences over things. A really nice B&B in Melbourne Beach (Port D Hiver is nice but I like the location of this one better) is the Sea Glass inn. We have friends who stay there a lot - maybe not quite as fancy, but quiet.

I like to go up to St. Augustine (or Savannah, although I really prefer St. Augustine) and do different things.

But I have a surprising recommendation. Does she like horses? Has she always secretly wanted a horse? Take her to Lexington Kentucky (Allegiant has insanely cheap fares out of Sanford straight to the Bluegrass airport), and tour some of the Thoroughbred farms, and do the distillery tour. It's a REALLY great little city (my daughter lives there and works on one of the farms). Tour the Kentucky Horse Park for history, Claiborne farms (They let you actually TOUCH past Derby winners) and then hit the Woodford Distillery for their excellent booze tour. Stay at a little AirBnB in the NoLi district or on one of the TB farms. You will LOVE it if she is at all interested in horses, and this is about HER.

If you let me know enough in advance I can arrange some lessons on a really safe school horse, too, so that she can ride, as well.

If not, well, the distillery tour is still awesome .

The idea is to think of her hidden interests. What has she always wanted to do but didn't really think she could? See if you can find a way to make that happen.
