Chicago in the summer is really cool.
Down south, timing is everything, if you are a regular SoCal person you are going to sweating balls in all that summer heat and humidity.

Savannah and the surrounding Low Country is beautiful but I wouldn't visit in July and August.
New Orleans is rad but the same rule applies.
If you're an outdoorsy type, can check out the Blue Ridge Mountains.
As for the Midwest, Chicago is awesome in the summer and then there's St. Louis, the most dangerous city in the United States...

I love traveling to Southeast Asia. Been to Vietnam numerous times, my favorite, and can easily see myself living as an ex pat there even though I don’t speak the language nor am I Vietnamese. Great food, gentle culture, and beautiful people....everything cheap by US dollar standard.
Got a couple of big trips lined up at end of year so was hoping to do a 7-10 day summer excursion somewhat local. Humidity sucks so I’ll probably heed people’s advice about going Midwest or South in cooler months.
What about non-traditional places to visit in Canada (ie not Vancouver or Torronto...been to both places a few times already)? Any good places that combine natural hot springs and fishing (lake or river)?

Taking a road trip all through the driftless zone is great summer road trip. Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa, Galena Ill is in the driftless zone,cool little midwest town. Prince's Hot Chicken in Nashville is something I always crave to go back too. The Natchez Trace Parkway is another great road trip.
The Driftless Area is a region in Minnesota, Wisconsin, northwestern Illinois, and northeastern Iowa of the American Midwest that was never glaciated. Colloquially, the term is expanded to include the broader incised Paleozoic Plateau, which contains deeply-carved river valleys and extends into southeastern Minnesota and northeastern Iowa.[1] The region includes elevations ranging from 603 to 1,719 feet (184 to 524 m) at Blue Mound State Park and covers an area of 24,000 square miles (62,200 km2).[2] The rugged terrain is due both to the lack of glacial deposits, or drift, and to the incision of the upper Mississippi River and its tributaries into bedrock.
A Drive through 10,000 Years of History
The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile recreational road and scenic drive through three states. It roughly follows the "Old Natchez Trace" a historic travel corridor used by American Indians, "Kaintucks," European settlers, slave traders, soldiers, and future presidents. Today, people can enjoy not only a scenic drive but also hiking, biking, horseback riding, and camping along the parkway.
