I grew up taking yearly trips to central Mexico to visit my grandparents and loved it. I even spent 8th grade living with them and attending school in Puebla.

We went to Chicago/Springfield as kids and had fun

We have done several day trips with out kids to NYC we love Central Park.

Vegas is great for a long weekend. Love the great dining and shows.

San Fransisco is beautiful.

We went to Gaitlinburg and Knoxville last year to visit some family that moved down there and really enjoyed it. Smoky Mountains were beautiful and Dollywood was lovely. The aquarium was great! Beautiful trees, very family friendly and nice. We had lots of great food on this trip too.

Gold Country in California is a fun trip. I spent a week exploring old towns and historical sites.

I live near DC and Baltimore they are both great for visits.

My husband loves the Niagara Falls area (I've never been) but we are planing a trip to check out both sides of the boarder next year.

I love SoCal. My favorite beach is at Corona Del Mar. They have a beautiful cove off the main beach with rocks to climb on and a few tide pools.

Heading to the Outer Banks for the first time this summer.

This might sound eye-brow raising but I gotta to say either New York or Washington DC. I'm from NJ and even though I've been to New York City many times, no two trips are ever the same. Horrid smells aside, I just love walking being surrounded by bright lights, tall buildings and being able to ride the subway to get just about anywhere. Plus there's a ton of restaurants in NYC on my bucket list I must eat at and ones I've thoroughly enjoyed. But I really like DC, as well. Being a history major, I maybe inclined to say that but there's just something cool about going to all the monuments of the country's greatest presidents, the museums of the Smithsonian (My favorite is the Air and Space museum even though I'm not into air and space, in general.) It's just so unique and I couldn't think of anywhere else for the USA's capital.

It's big city's like NYC that come closest for me, too. I've lived most of my life in NYC, but other cities like London, Amsterdam, and Paris I became equally obsessed with reading the guidebooks over and over. I think it's sort of a guy thing - I really get a charge out of reading so much about a city that I've memorized large parts of the layout without ever having been there before. It was pretty cool to go to Amsterdam and know my way around even though it was my first time there.

The Florida Keys. They are only an hour away from me but it feels like I am so far away from home because it's such a laid back mentality. Now I have to book a hotel for a long weekend and trailer the boat down there. I wish my parents hadn't sold their house down there. It was on a canal with access to the ocean. I had the boat tied to their dock and could head down for a weekend any time.

eh, don't really have one.

Living in Boston takes away the appeal of visiting another major American city. Been to the big ones, seemingly all the same. Major sports market, good food, cool bars, craft brews.

We only enjoy Disneyworld. We spend roughly $43,000/year visiting Disneyworld. We just love it. We did vacation once in Macon, GA and we simply didn't find it nearly as magical as Disneyworld. So we just go to Disneyworld 5 times a year.

National Parks (our real treasure). I loved Yosemite and also went to Mt. Rainier. This year will include the Columbia River Gorge, Mt. St. Helens, Olympia, and who knows what else. Grand Teton, Glacier, and Zion are on the list for the future.

I also love, love, love the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. Especially in springtime.

I go nuts studying the cities I visit on Google Maps the week before I leave so I don't have to wander around with the map out at all times looking like a tourist. I have wound up behind too many slowpokes walking and reading a map in NYC to want to be like them.

Boston is really the best city to live in. Boston all the way!
