Tennessee is your answer.

Seasons, stuff to do, taxes, etc.

I love Tennessee but "taxes" are not favorable to retirees. No income tax means it's a great place to work but they make up a lot of that revenue with higher taxes elsewhere (sales, investments, etc.) which hits non-working retirees harder.

And the seasons aren't great either due to natural topography - too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter.
