Default Winter soaring "escape plan" locations?

If you were based in NYC, and wanted to leave a small RV and a DG-400 somewhere warm for the winter, traveling to it for a long weekend once each month, with wife and kindergartener in tow, where would that be? Seminole Lake is an obvious choice, but are there other soaring locations that are easy to fly into from NYC and have things to offer besides Disney for the family? Wife has an aversion to Florida which I'm trying to overcome, but meanwhile, other ideas?


I think the "long weekend" pretty much limits you to something within a few hours by air carrier, no? There's more to the area around Seminole Lake than Disney. I was pretty impressed with a walk I did at Lake Louisa a few years ago.
