Here's a few of our three day weekend getaways that we've done:

1. Key West, FL - Fun place with perfect weather to get away from the New England Winter.

2. Memphis, TN in January - My wife's birthday is the same day as Elvis Presley, so this year for her 45th birthday I surprised her with a trip to Memphis to visit Graceland on their Birthday weekend.

3. San Francisco, CA - Tricky for a 3 day weekend from the East Coast, but we packed in seeing the sites of the city, a tour of Alcatraz, a hike through Muir Woods, and a run up to Sonoma wine country.

4. Los Angeles, CA - Plenty to see, do, and eat for a long weekend getaway.

5. Orlando, FL - We've done a few separate ones there either hitting Disney or Universal for a couple of days. With the new Harry Potter park, Universal is definitely worth a couple day trip.

6. Sedona, AZ - Another nice escape from the cold to a picturesque and quirky place.

7. Newport, RI - Typically visited by tourists in the Summer, but a more peaceful place for a long weekend when the tourists are headed to warmer venues.

I so badly want to go to Orlando, and Arizona has been on my "to do" list as well! Your whole list was great! :)

3 day vacation? Hmm....

Seattle, Washington because i heard there are scenic routes to take and things to see/eat.
Clam chowder i heard is good there - from Kaotic.

Denver, Colorado because the view is nice and it would be def be cool to go snowboarding there for a change.
People are friendly.

I want to see nice country roads for a change. Of course I'd be renting a car and not taking my car there with all the dead bugs :P

I will be headed for a three-day (actually four) day vacation in about a month. I'm headed to the Sonoma area of California.

Stay at home. Why? So I can actually just relax for once without fretting about getting something done or worrying about time constraints.

I would kill for 3 days to relax - hell, an hour every night would tickle me plum to death.

I would go to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. It's very quiet and scenic there.

yup...3 days isn't enough...but I guess if it was only 3 days since I live in the north corner of the country and I would lose 2 of the three days to flying I might as well instead say that I would visit Prince Edward Island. I could drive there and at least enjoy most of the 3 days.
