North Carolina
Now this one is a personal favorites because I used to live in Charlotte. The spring weather was my favorite because it was mostly always sunny and a perfect 75. It is so enjoyable to be outside at breweries or go hiking in Boone. You can even head to the Outerbanks for some sunshine but it may be a little on the colder side than say Florida weather.

Busiest tourist season: February, March, and June

Florida
Speaking of Florida if you are looking for a beach and winter getaway this is the perfect place for you. The humidity isn’t too crazy yet so it is way more enjoyable than the summer. If you want the hottest weather though the more south you should go, like south beach Miami. I would suggest, however, staying away from the panhandle it is cold, foggy, and rainy there usually in the spring.
Average Temperature: in the low 80s (20-22C)
Busiest tourist season: mid-November to mid-April
Naples
Destin
South Carolina
Bringing it back to the Carolina’s because Charleston is the perfect city to explore when it’s not hot out. Spring will be perfect weather for you and such a treat!
Average Temperature: high of 74°F and lows of 62°F
Busiest tourist season: September- November
Charleston

Oregon
This is going to be the perfect destination for you if you want to get outside and explore. The spring for Oregon means fields are in full bloom and the most beautiful! Some of the best flowers fields you will find are: Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, Adelman Peony Gardens, Oregon Lavender Farm, Poppy Fields, Sunflower Fields, Dahlia Festival.
Average Temperature: Low of 50 degrees F (18 C) and an average high of 60 degrees F (26 C)

Nevada
I like going to Nevada during the spring because it isn’t crazy hot out. Plus if you are headed to Las Vegas the pool parties will be in full swing but won’t be uncomfortably crowded. I went to Las Vegas in June for a music festival and never ever want to experience it in the summer ever again, it’s so hot. Plus you can go to the Death Valley with it not quite reaching 100 degrees.
Average Temperature: 68°F to 94°F
Busiest tourist season: January, February, July
Vegas
Magic Mountains
Louisiana
The temperatures are perfect and bearable and definitely will allow you to escape the cold. In New Orleans, there are also many incredible festivals to attend in the spring. Some include April’s french Quarter Festive and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
Average Temperature: 54°F to 80°F
Busiest tourist season: May-July

Washington DC
This is a crowd favorite because the Cherry Blossoms this time of year are in full effect and they are absolutely stunning. Although the temps aren’t as beautiful as the southern states, they still aren’t too bad to bear. Plus you can explore the city without it being too crowded.
