vacation destinations

Just a few of my all-time favorite places to visit and experience! Thought I'd only share the locations I'm pretty familiar with because I have lived in/around these areas, since it's always best to hear travel recommendations from a native resident! Comment your favorite travel locations and if any of our states match up!
