Where Is Your Favorite Place To Go To Get Your Head On Straight Again?
I recently asked, on Facebook, “Where is your favorite place to escape to for a few days?
One of my favorites is Montana. Sometimes ya got to go out into nature to get your head on straight again.
If you have a photo of your favorite place, PLEASE POST IT. Let’s travel together.”
These are the responses I received. Let me know your answers, too.
Cathy Lamb I tried to get one of my sister’s sweet horses to give me some advice for life, but all he wanted to do was talk about the joys of hay.
Regina Mae I run to the beach. Amelia Island, Saint Augustine, Hilton head. Almost any beach will do in a pinch. smile emoticon
Amy Nathan Tucson. Any place with mountains.
Amy Nathan Hudson River valley
Cathy Lamb Gorgeous, Amy Nathan and let’s hope we’re both in Tucson together next year, too.
Amy Nathan Me too!
Liz Grabber I go to the mountains. The past few years it has been to a cabin in New Hampshire.
Amy Nathan Montana is one of the places I’d really like to go one day.
Cathy Lamb Amy Nathan Wild and open and free and wonderful. Montana would love to see you.
Deborah Murrill Blanchard I love the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Fresh, clean air. It is so calming there.
Cathy Lamb Oh my gosh, Deborah Murrill Blanchard It looks like a snow blanket. Gorgeous.
But… I decided that my favorite place to be is anywhere we can go together.
Cathy Lamb Robert Andweave Susan, look at that son of yours! And that photo! Wow!!! But, you’re right. Going wherever with the people you love is hte best.
Wendy Webber Deloge The Great Smoke Mountians, one of our favorite getaways. We get a beautiful cabin in Gatlinburg TN!
Cathy Lamb Wendy Webber Deloge I have always wanted to go the Smoky Mountains. I absolutely have to get there.
Wendy Webber Deloge It’s the absolute best Cathy Lamb. My husband and I have gone twice and we definitely want to go back, but not until my children are married off. We have 2 wedding within 7 months of each other. One in October and the the other gets married in June of 2017. So needless to so we are quite busy with weddings. It’s very exciting though!
Gretchen Ross Any five star resort with maid service and my husband any place in the eorld. This is in Santa Barbara.
Cathy Lamb Gretchen Ross You crack me up. But, you’re right. An excellent hotel ANYWHERE, to relax, soak up some sun, no housework, no work, no distractions, perfect.
Robert Andweave I want to see the AFTER picture. Did they treat the place like drunken rock stars or were they one of those neat freaks that cleaned before they checked out? (Please, Gretchen…tell me you live like a rock star).
Gretchen Ross More like a porn star.
Gretchen Ross Look at that picture more closely. You will notice no piles of crap around. I love hotels. I always wanted to be Eloise and live at the Plaza. I did get to stay there once. Let the kids jump on the bed and stole a bath mat.
Prudence Henderson Grubb Boothbay Harbor, Maine for this mermaid! Enjoy and may you relax and get grounded.
Stacy Walker Sedona AZ is my favorite. Hiking and unplugging is my favorite thing to do.
Cathy Lamb Stacy Walker Love to hike. Totally get ya.
Stacy Walker Me too and take pictures
Alissa Schad Love my time share week in Oceanside. This is from my bed before i even put my feet on the ground
Cathy Lamb Love the ocean. One of my favorite places ever. Was just there today, in fact! You can THINK at the ocean.
Alissa Schad Exactly. I always feel like my tank is almost empty and then i go to the beach to “fill up” and I’m ready for the life drive again. Of course, I’m usually reading one of your books when I’m there smile emoticon
Laurice McClung I want to go to Montana some day. Would love to own some land there.

Jennifer Tropea O’Regan St. Lucia! ☀️👙👓👒
Jenny Collins Belk well yeah Jennifer, I guess so ! LOL
Cathy Lamb Jennifer Tropea O’Regan Oh please. I must go with you next time. I beg of you….that is just gorgeous
Amy Yeager My grandparents house and property in the rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania. It is now my uncle’s house and our family homestead. This is the homemade wooden bridge that my grandpa built and taught us how to maintain. You have to go down the lane, cross the bridge, and go up the lane to get to the house. Being there on the property or in the woods behind it just settles my soul.
Barb Dowdell MacKenzie This looks like a slice of heaven!
Amy Yeager Thanks! And that’s just one pic! It truly is the most peaceful, relaxing place on the planet….for me.
Amy Yeager My 2nd favorite place to escape is the beach….but my favorite beach is Tybee Island, Georgia. The rhythm and air of that beach breathes life, freedom, and an sense of centeredness in the universe….moreso than any other beach I have ever visited.
Cathy Wisilosky My favorite place, Davistown, PA.
Cathy Lamb I could write there, Cathy Wisilosky!
Cathy Doces Foster Orcas Island, WA. ( Or better known as Charlotte’s Island off Washington’s States coast in My Very Best Friend by Cathy Lamb)
Cathy Lamb Cathy Doces Foster Ha. You know my secret now. You’re right. Charlotte in My Very Best Friend was on Orcas Island.
Barbara Khan The Old State House, Boston. I lived there for 12 years. Went back for a visit most recently in Dec, I still remembered my way around on public transportation.
Amy Yeager That’s a fantastic spot! Very captivating! I’ve visited that spot twice smile emoticon
Barbara Khan Amy Yeager I loved living there surrounded by history. This building houses a subway station down below.
Robin Mooney Right now it’s our cozy cabin in the mountains.
Cathy Lamb Robin Mooney You are totally snowed in, aren’t you?
Robin Mooney We weren’t…lol Looks like we were, now that you mention it.
Joyce Ferrell ocracoke island nc
Joyce Ferrell great pristine beaches no big box stores or traffic
Jill O’Connor Anderson Really, the end of our dock or on our lake, when the cabin people are gone during the week… you can hear a fish jump out of the lake, a Loon call, the eagles swooping into the water to catch fish. It takes me “away”, yets lets me be at home!
Cathy Lamb Where are you, Jill O’Connor Anderson?
Jill O’Connor Anderson Cathy Lamb central Minnesota. We live on a lake, and have another lake across the street from us. Pretty darn nice!☺️ I can see that now, but come winter time… Not as nice!
Karen Katchur Avalon, Jersey shore.
Cathy Lamb Wow. That sunset, Karen Katchur. that is just a sky gift.
Karen Katchur Sky gift-I love that! Can’t wait to go back. smile emoticon
Carla Dilger Stark St Thomas, USVI
Carla Dilger Stark My son stole my hammock
Cathy Lamb Carla Dilger Stark Sons do that sometimes.
Aimie Trumbly Runyan Baie Orient, St. Martin!!!!See Translation
Cynthia Dix The Oregon Coast–whether it’s Cape Kiwanda/Pacific City (pictured), Cannon Beach, or Lincoln City, this is where I unwind.
Cathy Lamb Yep. Cynthia Dix Just got back from Lincoln City today. Loved it. You can really relax here.
Cynthia Dix Lincoln City just after Memorial Day (for Wedding Anniversary #6), hoping for Cannon Beach on Sunday!
Keily Davis Derrick My favorite place for a few days is at OSU for moms weekend!

Diane Russom Harrison Destin, FL
Laura Drake Mammoth, CA, fly fishing. Ahhhh….
Kathryn Craft I’ve always wanted to go to Montana!
Lori Taylor Fun little hike
Marta Jackson I love Santa Fe, NM!
Susan Becraft I love mountains of all sizes. On my first trip to Yosemite, I felt like a pipsqueak, especially when standing next to El Capitan. I also love the Great Smokies and Blue Ridge Mountains. Though much older and not as high, they have an unique beauty. The view from Sonja Yoerg‘s window thrills me. And there are the Alps. The list never ends. “Majestic”, for once, is the perfect description of all mountains.
