Charleston or New Orleans would be fun and have decent weather in March

Portland and Seattle are both great, but weather could be pretty gross that time of year. I've traveled to that area quite a bit for work, and that time of year seems to just be very gray. It generally hasn't been pouring or anything. It just always seems to be drizzling and chilly. I'm sure PNWer's would disagree. This is based on my experience, so take it with a grain of salt.

My husband and I are struggling with the same issue. We're going somewhere in April, but weather is a crap shoot in many places that time of year. Right now, we're leaning toward Sedona, AZ.

Denver would be great in March. It’s basically always sunny, and there are endless outdoor things to do.

Come to my hometown of Scottsdale, AZ! You can't ask for better weather than March in AZ. It's guaranteed to be sunny and pleasant! We have lots of great local events in March- especially Spring Training baseball. In February is the Phoenix Open golf tournament- one of the most fun events (and I don't follow golf)!

I was also going to say New Orleans as long as it’s not spring break.

@Mrs. Oreo: Probably my favorite trip I ever went on with DH was to the Sedona, AZ area in February - it's absolutely fabulous, gorgeous weather and gorgeous scenery (sunsets especially...) The perfect place for a romantic weekend to reconnect...

I’d skip Portland in March unless you live rain. Fly into Redmond and go to Bend, Ore.

That said I’d love Palm Springs. We went for Easter last year. I’ve also heard Scottsdale is amazing. I’m also team Vegas anytime. But I like warm weather and pools.

New Orleans is a great idea, especially if you need a break from all things TTC, since it's a fantastic place to go without kids! Although pricey, the Roosevelt is extremely nice. Even if you don't stay there, they have a really good casual restaurant and of course, the Sazerac bar. Just avoid Mardi Gras if you don't want the big party and expensive rates.

I just returned from Sedona, AZ and it was gorgeous and I loved all the amazing hiking, but if I were without kids I'd choose New Orleans to laissez les bon temps roulez
