Learning to Relax? Take a Mini-Vacation!

Everyone needs some time off, so why not take a week to yourself and get away? Here are 7 of the most relaxing places where you can do just that!

1. Hawaii - The Big Island

-The Big Island has endless sandy beaches that you can do so much on. You can snorkel the beautiful reefs, and see the bright colorful fish. You can also parasail over the beautiful oceans and take part in an authentic Hawaiian show. What more can you ask for?

2. Costa Rica

-In Costa Rica, you can zip-line over all the beautiful waterfalls. You can also view the breathtaking scenery from a private plane. One of the coolest things you can do in Costa Rica is swim with dolphins while on a sailboat adventure.

3. Bahamas

-The ocean water surrounding the islands of the Bahamas is incredible in its variety of hues and its clarity. You can easily spot dolphins, explore shipwrecks and coral reefs, and swim over sunken treasure.

4. Cancun

-Cancun has the most white warm powdery beaches and turquoise crystal clear waters together with the famous Mexican hospitality make this place like no other! Visiting the Mayan ruins are a must! While there, you have to watch the monkeys. Don't miss the magic of the island of Mujeres where you can dine, swim, relax and swing in a hammock all day.

5. The Dells

-The Dells are the perfect getaway to spend the day relaxing at a spa or make a splash at one of the many indoor water parks. Whether you are planning a romantic getaway or a bit of family fun, the Dells are perfect any time of the year.

6. Yellowstone

-Yellowstone's variety of scenery waterfalls, geysers, and abundant greenery is a natural elixir for stress, which should give you plenty of energy for the park's top things to do. Visiting Old Faithful and enjoying the sight of free-roaming wildlife.

7. Niagara Falls

-The falls are so majestic. Get up close and personal by taking a boat ride tour at the foot of the Falls for a wet wild view of the 13-story Falls. For a completely different sensation, you can journey behind the falls. It sounds like thunder as you descend to tunnels that travel to Observation Decks literally right behind the falls, as the mist freezes into beautiful formations.

Whether you're looking for somewhere hot or cold to vacation to, you can also find a spot to relax.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
