Don't miss the Duqesne Incline and -- no kidding -- the Aviary.

--Ocean City, MD

For a modest fee you can rent a jet boat to take out on the waters of the bay. But the water levels are probably so low now that it won't be any fun.

For a modest fee you can go on a whale-watching tour for an hour, in which if you don't see any whales you will be somewhat bored.

You can go to Assateague and see the wild horses, and more pointedly, the wild horse crap.

Left with little else you must adhere to the boardwalk culture. Bring walkin' shoes and walk the entire boardwalk -- miles and miles of it. Rent bikes and bike up and down it. And then, having worked off all those calories, put them all back on in all-you-can-eat places (there are many) and the awesome Bayside Skillet and its strawberry crepes. Not to mention the drink specials; if you enjoy drinking places with tacky semi-obscene names serving exotic and trendy drinks, OCMD is the place for you.

--Northern New England (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire)

I'm biased in favor of NH. Do start at Portsmouth (with a cool artsy downtown) and drive north, at least to a trip up the cog railway up Mt. Washington.
