I very rarely travel, so I would have to say the weekend getaways to the beach on the Mississippi River near me would be my favorite vacation. It’s enough to help me relax and forget the stress of everday life, if even just overnight!
my best vacation ever was at fort Meyers beach walking for ever when the tide went out and collecting shells until my back hurt.
Best vacation ever – 3 weeks out west!
Our honeymoon to Seaside when we first experienced that magical place. That was 16 years ago, but it started a love of the place that will last a lifetime! It’s my little bit of Heaven on Earth. My 6 year old asked just today when we are going back to Seaside! :)
The best vacation ever was one in Georgia. Had lots of fun sightseeing in Atlanta area.
Taking a driving tour of the whole state of Florida with my wife on our honeymoon.
My best vacation at Seaside ever was when I was younger. My precious grandmother was still alive then, and she and I stayed together in the upper bedroom of what was then “Dappers Den.” We would sit on the screen porch together and listen to all of the sounds of the city. One night, we even heard a jazz band playing. We would take nightly strolls down the cobblestone streets. Ah, simple pleasures.
I would have to say our best vacation would be the first time my husband and I ever stayed at Seaside. The reason…we found out a couple months later that we had taken home the best souvenir ever. Our daughter was born 9 months later after years of infertility!
My best vacation was my trip to Thailand riding an elephant in the jungle and in the Kwai River. A trip I will never forget!!
Florida’s Gulf Coast beaches are the best vacation. Awesome beaches with great restaurants
My favorite vacation ever was right there in Florida….with my parents as a little girl, with some of my best friends and later to my husband on our honeymoon…that was 25 yrs ago and I have never taken another vacation again. I raised my kids and never had the opportunity to take another vacation since then. I would give anything to come back to Florida! I will move there someday but I can’t right now as I work full-time and I am still here for my kids who are all in their early adult years. I can ‘t wait to see if I win so that I can share this paradise with my kids whom have NEVER had a vacation!
My best vacations have always been in Seaside! I just turned 30 this year and my parents started family vacations in Seaside when I was 4 and I’ve been every year since. It has changed so much in that time!!
The first vacation we took as a family! It was to Disney and so much fun! Can’t say the second vacation to the beach was the best because Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel was broadcasting from our beach. And, you know, when he shows up, you had better leave!
My best vacation was at Seaside, Florida — I just love that town so much. It’s so simple there… walk to the beach…walk to restaurants… walk to shops. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you could leave your door unlocked
West coast road trip! California dreaming…
Best vacation ever…..2 weeks in Alaska…..hands down
Our trip to Kauai was breathtaking!

Bali, the island of the gods, best vacation ever!
Best vacation was a trip to New Zealand! But a close second was going to the beach with my godson & his family and SUPing every morning on the Florida coast.
My best vacation ever was to Paris, France!
Seaside in July was the first time all of our family got to spend a vacation together. It was wonderful! Our family, my husbands sister’s family, and all of the grandchildren, we are blessed. Planning one for next year. Can’t wait to be back at Seaside!
My best vacation ever? Hard to pick just one, but any vacation that I am with all of my kids and my granddaughter would have to be my best!
Best vacation ever is at Seaside!
My best vacation was mine and my husband’s seaside honeymoon! :)

I love traveling to Europe, and my favorite country so far has been Italy!
Thailand – simply the best.
Visiting my sister who moved away with her family. When my children saw their cousins at the airport, they nearly crushed each other with hugs! Didn’t matter what activities we had planned, just that we were together!
My best vacation – my first trip to Destin, FL (two years ago) and someone suggesting that we take a ride along about Route 30A. Exploring the towns, stores, restaurants was the highlight of the trip, and I absolutely love going back there! There is nothing quite like the soft white sand, friendly people and delicious seafood found along the Gulf Coast of Florida!
Pensacola Beach,FL
We just back from taking our four-year-old daughter to Disney World. Experiencing the magic through her eyes made it a vacation I’ll never forget.

Ten weeks in Europe when I was in grad school. I did take classes, but it was still fantastic.
A stay-cation. I rediscovered my city.
I think the best vacation “would be” Christmas in Florida!! My son lives there and with my grandson that will be 2 in November. I’m all the way in Ky. It would be great to great away and see them in the process. Florida vacations were always great when I was a child. As I’ve gotten older and lost my husband the farthest I ever get is the Smokey Mountains. No vacation for 6 years.
Tough one…I love going places with my family. The best is prob just trips to the Oregon Coast, staying at the beach, building fires, hanging out, watching my dad surf.
Best vacation ever – Saturdays and Sundays. It doesn’t matter what you are doing or who you are doing it with, it’s all about making the most of those everyday experiences.
My best vacation was when mom & I went to Anna Marie Island FL. The best 5 days we ever had. Sun, sand, surf. grouper. so much. fun We got along so well. I cried when we left. We have always wanted to go back and never could afford to. Mom has end stage renal failure now but is holding tight. Want to go back to FL someday some way, somehow. I know we will find a way if God is willing and wants us there. I know momma wants to see it again one more time. It is so beautiful there. We are from OK and desperately need a break to help us renew our Spirit really bad. If anything could help us, it would be Florida.
Our very first Disney Cruise was our best ever!
My best friend’s son and daughter in law are having their first child. This will make her a grandma (gigi) for the first time. They live in Florida and she lives in Illinois. This would be a perfect way for her to go and visit them and they could all vacation at the same time.
Our best vacay was definitely Australia! So gorgeous and I’m dying to get back! But I’d happily take a Florida weekend anytime!!! I love it there :)
St John, U.S.V.I is our favorite place to vacation. Gorgeous beaches!
My favorite vacation was when we took our family to Tiajuana, Mexico. Our youngest son was graduating from Marines boot camp in San Diego. He married his sweetheart the same day and then had leave to go to Tiajuan with our family. We all had a wonderful time. The different culture, the varied people, the shopping experience, and then the mad dash across the boarder to meet our flight…all are memorable.

My favorite vacation was a cruise to Alaska with my whole family.
My favorite vacation was a trip I took to San Fransisco with my parent when I was 13 years old. It was the mid-60’s and the hippy scene was going full blast in SF then. I was from Louisiana and the sites were foreign to me. And exciting. I was a hippy at heart ever since.

Every summer around July 4th we travel far into the mountains of Virginia to visit with my husband’s family. Since we live in one of the southernmost cities with our three children, it is always a treat to steal away there to enjoy their cooler temperatures and breezes, watch the children run and play on the soft grass, and hearing the cows on the neighboring farm moo throughout the day. It’s not the fanciest of places to vacation but always just the right spot for us.

I went para-sailing, we went to a pig picking, took a helicopter ride around Maui and then we took our rental car past a sign that said do not go pass this point. It was off roading but we saw a part of Maui most people don’t get to see. We had a blast.

Then, our time at the hotel and hanging out on the beach gave my daughters and mom time to get to know each other better and bond. Every child should be able to have a vacation with their grandparents like mine did with my mom.

Honeymoon in Nuevo Vallarta!
My favorite vacation (done over 2 trips) was driving the entire west coast without any reservations–best weather and absolutely beautiful.

My best vacation ever was a few years ago, when my kids were still little. My best friend from childhood lived in Georgia at the time, and my family was taking a vacation in Florida to go to Disney. She decided to drive over and surprise us! It was so much fun. She was the manager of an ice cream shop at the time, so she brought with her a cooler FULL of ice cream. There was so much of it…we even wound up eating it for breakfast a couple times. She stayed the rest of the week, and we had the best time visiting Disney and just hanging out. We’ve gone on many vacations since that one, but it will still always be my favorite. What treasured memories.
Best vacation ever – our first summer in DE as a family. So much fun!

My BEST vacation ever was a road trip from Maryland to Maine. We drove to CT and stayed 1 night there, then up and over to VT and stayed 3 nights there in this quaint little town called Grafton. There was even a house that had a creek running right under it. From there we drove to Bangor, ME where we took the CAT ferry to Nova Scotia and stayed there for 1 night. The CAT no longer serves ME but it was a high speed ferry that even had a casino. I played blackjack but of course I didn’t win anything. However, I did see a lot whales playing in the water. I’ll never forget how awesome it was to see them. Anyway then we did the trip in reverse to come back home to MD. My BEST vacation ever!

As a kid, my family usually vacationed with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. One year we went to Fontana Damn in the Smokey Mountains.
