If you really like traveling light, and accept the compromises in the design, a superzoom could be good for you. When I was first getting started I borrowed a superzoom for a week and had a lot of fun wandering around town taking wildly different types of photos. Ex: EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
 

I think with 18-135 you are well set, what is lacking ?? is quality, low light ? or coverage ? for coverage you need wider or longer ?
Just buying another lens won't improve your photography IMHO, try investing in something else: a reflector, extension tube for macro, a polarizer, some lighting equipment etc...
As for the lenses especially DON'T GET 18-200,  quality wise it is inferior to 18-135, it has very little extra reach that won't be relevant anyway and it's expensive.
55-250 is is a very good lens but I doubt you need that little extra reach
