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.

Robert Andweave I tried to pick a favorite: Tahoe, Hawaii, San Diego, Palm Springs, the river, the backyard, etc.
But… I decided that my favorite place to be is anywhere we can go together.

Cathy Lamb

Cathy Lamb Wendy Webber Deloge I have always wanted to go the Smoky Mountains. I absolutely have to get there.

Wendy Webber Deloge

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!

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

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

Amy Yeager

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.

Marta Jackson

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.

Dusti Douglass It would be the French Quarter for me. It’s just a few minutes away travel time but it feels as far away as a vacation. There’s nowhere else I know that has the music, food, art, and culture that the French Quarter offers in such a small space. It has and always will capture my heart.
