We haven't been on a "real" vacation in years. We went down to Florida last year in May, did the Universal Studios thing, but mostly down there to close up my father-in-law's place and drive his car back to NH for him so he could fly back because of medical issues.
The this year, he passed away in April. My wife went down to Florida several times from January until he passed, so she used up a lot of her vacation time through work. Haven't had much time since to go away, dealing with the estate and all.
However, the wife and I did a quick overnight down to Mystic, CT a few weeks ago for our anniversary. It was a nice little getaway. We're planning to take a legitimate vacation in a couple years for our 30th.

Our favorite is to hit a UFC fight in Vegas. So much stuff to do there fight weekend.
Also no vacation this year. We got married and birthed a boy.

Vegas in spring, Atlanta in summer and Jack Daniels in fall - that's about it for us on a normal year since I started the business.
I am going to Utah this winter for a training class, but that is not a vacation per se.

My cousin and I went on a nice road trip in August before starting school. Camped near Telluride, CO for a couple nights and saw some sites, including Mesa Verde NP. Then we met my sister near 4 Corners and went to Arches and Canyonlands and stayed in Moab UT for a night. Heck of a trip.
I'm pretty sure I could spend quite a bit of time around Moab, if I had the chance.

That's a beautiful area; one of my favorites. My wife (girlfriend at the time) her roommate, and I took a 3week cross-country trip in college that focused on that area.

That's cool. I wish we would have had more time to spend there. Such a dramatic change in landscape out that way. Seemed like every hill or mountain we went over yielded a new and more incredible terrain than the last.

John, hope you take some time this fall to enjoy the colors, maybe near the mountains, find some fall festivals and just enjoy the scenery and cooler weather. we went to Myrtle Beach, SC in May and had a good time, great weather. I am curious to see how the campground where we stayed has faired after Hurricane Matthew.
Growing up my family never went on vacation. After the birth of my first son I made sure we took one each year. We tried different places along the coast and after the first trip to the Outer Banks of NC I knew we had no reason to ever go anywhere else. We've been going at least one week a year for 20+ years now and I can't imagine ever changing.

Me and some Marine buddies went to MB for Memorial Day weekend back in 83.
We camped in the KOA camp ground IIRC.It was right on the beach, probably suffered some erosion after Matt.
OH yeah, we saw Humble Pie in a little bar, great show!
Went to Rotterdam in 78 and had a great time.Unfortunatly we only had a couple of days for liberty but the people were nice.

Rebecca's took a lot more pictures and put them on her Instagram but here's a few from our trip.
This beach leads to the Pier, where a lot of the business and restaurants are
We spend a lot fo time riding bikes and visiting sites like the historic lighthouse when we can
We foudn this starnded sea turtle on the ebach and called in helped for it to go to the turtle rescue center
managed to sight see quite a few alligators while we were there
Visited drift wood beach on the island next door (Jekyll, where one fo Rebecca's novels is set)
Iris and REbecca rode horses on the beach
We visited a place called shelmons bluff nearby, great little fishing town
and even saw the town where they film The Walking Dead on the way back, hoenlslt the drive and stop offs are always some fo my favorite parts on long trips
Thsi is the town wall from the TV show
we had us some fun anyway

We stayed in a campground near Gatlinburg, enjoyed Pidgeon Forge, and Dollywood, and got to take a short horseback ride through the park. I also enjoyed Smoky Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville.
