Question

So random but husband is in charge of a bachelor party for a first marriage at 43. He doesn’t want to Vegas, etc. The bachelor has traveled all over the world for work so doesn’t care about that. So it will be this summer and he wants it driveable for everyone to join. What areas would be fun to do maybe some boating and then a nite life ? No city (they work there). I am blanking. all the places I am thinking up north are more family oriented. Any ideas?
