Often when we think about vacationing, we envision far off locales, exotic beaches, and swaying palms. But, travel such as that can be expensive and time consuming. Instead of forgoing travel altogether, why not opt for a destination a little closer to home?!

– Grand Canyon (Arizona). The Grand Canyon is definitely a must-see! Here, you can behold the chasm that was carved by the Colorado River. This natural wonder is visited by five million visitors each and every year.

– New York City. Times Square, Central Park, Broadway, the Statue of Liberty – enjoy some quintessential American culture in the city that never sleeps!

– Washington, DC. As the seat of the federal government, D.C. houses fabulous cultural riches that will delight visitors of all ages.

– Disney World (Florida). If you have young children, Disney World is a great choice! Offering attractions for kids of all ages, this place offers the ultimate theme-park experience.

– Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, Montana, Idaho). This park spans three states and offers nearly 3,500 square miles of bucolic landscapes and untouched wilderness.

Enjoy a stateside getaway this year, and revel in all our great country has to offer.
