Summer home? Before the trip is too much.

Requirements:
- Garden friendly (I love to garden and grow what I eat) like to have an acre or so
- Must be the East Coast (the kids, sister etc.,)
- I hate the cold, cant be too rural wife likes to shop.
- Dont want the other digs to be more than 12 hours driving away from the villages.
- wouldnt mind a college town but not too congested (NY, Philly etc)

Any thoughts and why?

The hot weather is almost exactly the same until you get to Northern New England. Shorter duration then Florida, but just as hot and humid. So go to Maine, NH or Vermont. Rent a place on an Island in Casco Bay in Portland Maine. Excellent Ferry Service, beautiful weather, close to Portland for shopping and dining, great gardening and you will be right on the ocean. And if you rent for the summer, not really that expensive. A really great experience if you have never done something like that.

There were more hotter than TV temps in East TN the last two summers.
