Weekend travel planning

Ok, so if a golfing vacation to Myrtle Beach seems a bit impossible, at least for this month and the next, I think I need to focus on the local areas and plan a quick weekend break for the first weekend of June. When it comes to destinations of drivable distance of 6-7 hours, we getting bogged down by having to sit such long periods of time in a car. Living in a big city, one anyways spends so much time commuting and I don't want a vacation drive to feel like a commute. I think a ferry option is better. Now I just have to figure out which direction to take.
