Where to visit in the US for an impromptu trip when my walking ability is limited?

I’m recovering from a “mild” case of Guillain Barre syndrome, which is an autoimmune disorder that attacks your nerves. I have made a ton of progress and have gone from being almost paralyzed in my legs to being able to walk independently without a walker or cane.

If you saw me walking down the street, you’d probably never know that I was recovering from GBS or had any issues at all. BUT, my stamina is still super low. I can maybe walk a mile, but then I need an extended break beyond just sitting on a bench. I usually need to veg on the couch or lay in bed for like an hour. Then I can get back to doing things.

Annnnnyway, I kind of want to do a little trip with my husband before my medical leave ends, as this has been an extremely stressful time for us both.

While I usually love a trip that involves lots of walking and exploring, I think that might be beyond my abilities at the moment.

With that said, what are your suggestions for a short trip (3-5 days) that will have some neat things to explore, but also options to relax as well (beach? Pool?)

FYI we’d be flying out of Bradley airport in CT.
