Five Favorite Vacation Spots!

 
With Summer almost here .... time to think about vacations!!
Here are my Five Favorite Vacation Spots for FUN ...

Hocking Hills State Park 1. Hocking Hills State Park

Ohio has many beautiful State Parks. Since 2001 we have enjoyed visiting the Hocking Hills State Park with friends and their families about every other year. Hocking Hills State Park is in Logan, OH which is south of Columbus. It is a very scenic area and there are many free trails to explore the beautiful landscape.  They have 40 comfortable cabins and a large outdoor pool which are great for a group.


Caribbean beaches2. The Caribbean

I am a beach person ... so give me a beach and a book and I am all set!?!There are so many beautiful islands in the Caribbean with unbelievable sandy beaches and warm turquoise water! The all-inclusive resorts are luxurious!



Great Smokey Mountain National Park3. Gatlinburg, TN

The biggest attraction in my opinion in the Gatlinburg area is the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. We enjoyed hiking the trails to see all the breath-taking scenery. There are also lots of attractions and good restaurants in the city of Gatlinburg. Last time we were there, we stayed in a condo in the city. From there we could easily walk to the city attractions. Next time we go, we plan to stay in one of the beautiful cabins up in the mountains.


New York City4.  New York City

I am not a fan of crowds, so New York City was not high on my places to visit. But my daughter has always wanted to go there so one year we surprised her with a trip to New York City ... and I LOVED it!!  We saw some of the attractions and Hairspray! One of my favorite parts of the trip was all the different kinds of cheesecake!! We definitely plan to visit again and take in more of the sights and shows.


Euchre Tournament5.  My Own Deck

As Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz says, "There's no place like home," and sometimes that is the case.  In recent years we've heard more of "staycations"... staying home for your vacation and enjoying your own home and surrounding attractions. So many times our own deck looks so inviting as we are rushing off to somewhere else. It's nice to kick back once in a while and relax in our own backyard ... especially with friends!! We even play some Euchre ;-)
