Location: Cookeville TN | I am looking for a new area to "get-away" to this spring, I've been all over Florida and a lot of the east coast and to me it is beginning to seem quite over-rated.
What are some of ya'll preferences, experiences, etc??? |

Location: Midwest | Yosemite National Park is amazing. The most beautiful place I have ever been by far.
You won't regret a trip there, and I suggest to everyone that they should go at least once. |

Location: North Dakota | Playa Del Carmen Mexico/Cozumel is my most favorite place my husband and I have traveled to. Love the warm water, sand, cocktails, food, relaxation. So much fun. However, if you want to stay in the States my most favorite state we've visited thus far would have to be New Mexico. We stayed at a B&B in Taos and it was so much fun! The shopping, local cuisine, and culture was so cool. Santa Fe is not far so we drove there too and shopped. |

Location: Oklahoma | My favorite place to vacation is NYC!! I really think that I was born to be a city girl and then just got adopted and grew up in the country.... 
Husband and I spent our honeymoon in Alaska. If you're wanting to go somewhere remote and forget about the day to day hustle that's definitely the place to go! We barely had cell service 80% of the time!
I love Destin, but that doesn't sound like a new suggestion for ya! |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | I loved the peacefulness of Wyoming, probably why I live here now and don't really want to leave. LOL
If you come to Wyoming stay around the Jackson/Yellowstone/Cody/Sheridan area or go into South Dakota around Sturgis or Deadwood.
My SO's parents own cabins on a lake in Arakansas and I love to go there and just wind down. |

| I wish I knew some place good but I have never been on vacation. I think of it often especially when it is cold and snowy here. |

| We used to go to Lake Martin in AL for a week almost every summer. Had a boat, rented a house for a week and just enjoyed wake boarding & pulling kids on tube. And time to read, watch movies. Lots would find that boring I guess, but I always enjoyed the peace & quiet. |

Location: Bandera, TX | There are so many wonderful places. Hard to decide. I usually take my horses to a one week Craig Cameron clinic. Been doing that for over 10 years now. It's fun, relaxing and I get to spend quality time with my horses. |

| Mexico all the way!!!! This'll be my 10th time going this winter and I love it. Been to Puerto Vallarta(4), Playa del Carmen(2), Huatulco(1), Manzanillo(1), Ixtapa(2). If you want hot weather, go to Ixtapa! The weather is amazing every day! And really nice ocean to swim in. But my favourite was definitely Playa del Carmen, beautiful beaches and water and the resort we stayed at had a coral reef so there were always really neat fish and no waves because of the reef, like swimming in a huge swimming pool! |

| 2 places
#1- Since you've been all over Florida it probably won't be as appealing to you, but I LOVE Port Aransas Tx. We stay at a little resort there, rent beach buggies and cruise up and down the beach all day everyday, play in the ocean with the kids, eat shrimp by the bucket, drink margaritas, go on dolphin cruises, there's tons to do you'll never get bored!! And it's BEAUTIFUL!
#2- Ruidoso NM, I'm from New Mexico, and it's the perfect weekend getaway especially once race season starts, my kids love going to the track, it's also a truly beautiful place. Tons of shopping, cool museums, if you're into casinos there's the Inn of The Mountain Gods and Billy The Kid Casino they're both fun places to go. Of course there's hiking, and cabins to rent, there's a trail ride place, and the best boutique of all time J Roberts! Oh and if you do have kids Fun Trackers is a blast! They have go cart racing and put-put, and a maze that the change up every couple of days. Oh and if you go in the winter Ski Apache is open so there's always something to do!
