I love Reno. I only go once every handful of years though.. if I could afford I'd go every summer.
Other than that I used to enjoy going to the Oregon coast for the summer. Seaside, Astoria, Lincoln City.. get a nice 2nd or 3rd story room right over the sand and watch/listen to the ocean.. so relaxing. And check out the little local shops and restaurants.
I heard Astoria's nice. I actually wanna go, for the hell of it.
I go to the beach about an hour and a half away from here and people are shocked when I tell em I rarely spend any money and have more fun just relaxing on the beach watching the ocean and people.
