Many folks have suggested Canada, which is absolutely awesome, but that is not a warm place - that's a place to go when it's beastly hot in the US (August IMO is the best month to head north). If you want a warm place, then New Orleans is one of the best places to go in the fall/winter. The city is made of awesome, and there is so much more to do there than the stereotyical boozing on Bourbon Street (a fine activity for one night IMO, but not for a whole vacation). The Audubon run zoo in NOLA is one of the best in the country - something I suspect you'll appreciate. Tours of the Garden District are beautiful, there are great museums, etc.
Going in off-season (not Mardi Gras) there is not terribly expensive either - you can generally find very cheap flights if you plan ahead, and hotels even in the French Quarter (stay there - you can walk everywhere, & take tram to other parts of the city) just off Bourbon are not badly priced, and give a better experience.
