Summer Vacation Ideas

So, summer is coming upon us. I cannot wait at all. I hope this summer is one memorable and crazy summer with a lot of fun adventures. Last week, I gave you tips on summer break travelling and just summer in general. This week, let’s talk about the places that are perfect for a summer break vacation.

One of the things about summer break is that it is a longer time off, allowing for a longer and nicer vacation. By this, I mean people can travel further and for a longer time. So, here are some of the great summer vacations for 2014.

Hawaii, everyone has always wanted to see this beautiful state. Though its part of the U.S., it is so far away from the majority of us and is this beautiful, exotic place. It has gorgeous scenery, and the verdant color just stands out to the eye. The beaches are amazing for water activity and this Hawaii, specifically Maui, is an amazing place to get some sun, surf on the beaches, and explore the beautiful scenery.

San Francisco is a great place to go year around, however, summer time means better weather. This coastal city off of California has a lot of places to see. It has an amazing vibe that most people fall in love with. It is just a good place to spend time with friends or family and explore the city. With its diversity, there are a lot of fun places to eat and see, making the experience relaxed, yet fun. Similarly, if you head a little north, you reach Seattle, another great place to vacation. It is a unique destination here in the U.S., but in summer the weather is nice, so it is one of the best times to visit the place. It has some cool buildings and things to do, both active and relaxing.

There’s always the family vacation to Yellowstone, for those here in the States. To be honest, I have never been there, but then again its always an idea that comes up and I shoot it down. This is not because it is a bad place to go, but I feel like there would not be as much to do, that I would enjoy. During a shorter vacation, I would love to go there. Yellowstone is great for family vacations though.

Heading out of the country is possible during summer break. Some of the best places to go are in Europe, including Munich, Barcelona, Paris, and Amsterdam. These big European cities each offer a unique experience during a great weather time. Visiting Europe is very different than here in the U.S. There is a lot of old culture, historical sites, museums, but also a more modern area. People can tour these cool sites, walk or bike around the streets, or just relax as they sit in a garden or a cute coffee shop. These cities allow for an experience of a different area that lives a different type of life than us, allowing us to get a great new perspective on culture.

Then, there are always the beach vacations. Everyone loves going to the tropical areas to get their tan on and do a lot of water activities and spend all their time beach side. Great places that offer this would be Fiji, Mykonos, and Nice. These areas are all amazing to go to and explore culture, but spend time on the beautiful beaches.

So, who is ready for summer? I know I am. These are some nice ideas for summer vacations this year, so have fun.
