Summer is right around the corner and I know most of us are in need of summer trip ideas! Well, no worries! I got you! Here are 11 ideal places to venture off to during the summer in the United States!
1. Walt Disney World.
I know, I know. You're probably thinking you're too old or too cool for Disney World, but I promise you will have a blast! You might have to do a little planning first, but you're never too old for Disney!
2. Los Angeles, California.
Los Angeles is so beautiful year round. When you go to Cali, make sure to visit The Griffith Observatory, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Rodeo drive, The Hollywood Bowl (especially if there is a concert), In-N-Out Burger, Santa Monica Pier and LA Live! These are few of the many places I've visited!
3. San Antonio, Texas.
My most favorite place in the world! San Antonio is so vibrant and full of life. There's always something for you to do! Six Flags Fiesta Texas isn't far from downtown and that's a trip in itself! Bring your bathing suit to the park! There are the riverboat cruises that will take you around downtown and past many historical places like where some parts of the movies "Selena" and "Miss Congeniality" were filmed. And of course there's nightlife!
4. New York City.
New York is also full of life and adventure! There's Radio City Music Hall, Macy's and, of course, Times Square. Warning: the Statue of Liberty is beautiful but has hundreds of stairs to get to the top. Ground Zero where the Twin Towers stood is now a memorial and is such a beautiful sight. Make sure to stop for some good pizza!
5. Panama City Beach, Florida.
Not only does it house the hottest nightclub ever known, La Valea, but it is also very fun! There is so much to do in PCB. You can go shopping, lie on the beach and of course have the time of your life!
6. Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, Alabama.
These beaches are closer to Louisiana than PCB. They also have a ton to do and Flora Bama isn't too far! There's The Hangout, go there for a wicked good time and food!
7. Jacob's Well, Wimberly, Texas.
I haven't been here yet but it is on my bucket list. From what I have heard, it's such a fun time to go swim and explore the well!
8. Chicago.
I haven't been to Chicago either, but from the looks of it, it's a very amazing place to visit. Go check out Cloud Gate a.k.a. The Bean!
9. Las Vegas.
For the 21-year-olds who just became legal! This is an ideal summer trip and is very affordable. Check out the rides at The Stratosphere...if you're a dare devil. There's also The Strip with thousands of opportunities for retail therapy, or the Ice Bar if you're feeling a little thirsty and hot!
10. New Orleans.
For all you out-of-towners, New Orleans is an amazing summer vacation! Check out The Audubon Zoo, Aquarium and Insectarium. There's a bunch of shopping to do in The Riverwalk and in the French Quarter. Bourbon Street for all you legal citizens and The Carousel Bar in Hotel Monteleone...yes, it does go around like a carousel! For family fun there is City Park, which houses Carousel Gardens Amusement Park, City Putt and bike/water rentals. While you're in town, be sure to get some beignets from Cafe du Monde!
11. Ruby Falls, Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Ruby Falls is a very popular tourist attraction. You can literally walk in the caves and see different figures made out of the stone. You can also see seven different states at one time! Once you get to the heart of the tunnels, you can finally see the beautiful waterfall. It seems like the water falls from the middle of nowhere!
