Okay y'all, it is that time of year when M/M Kitty start thinking about where to go during the dog days of summer, when I just want to sit in the refrigerator! :misskitty:
We have been lucky enough to visit Maine, Newport, Jackson Hole, Canada in the past. Give me some of your ideas! I am on a See America First campaign, so no Europe, but can do more Canada (we did Jasper, Banff, etc.).
TIA! :wave:

The last three hours of the trip is by train named "The Polar Bear Express" because there are no roads there! If you go, make sure you take a day boat to fossil island which includes a Inuit breakfast prepared by the boat owners wife. 😉

Alaska, especially the Inside Passage; the coast of Oregon...a trip up the Rogue River is great fun...beach combing along the coast...very different from our beach--the storms are fantastic. Mountains of Vermont.. Glacier National Park..Australia (the seasons are reversed). Hard to beat summer in Maine, though. As you know, I love it there. Have fun wherever you go.

I know I'm spelling this very wrong since I'm spelling it by phonics and I think it's actually an Indian name but Mackinaw Island Michigan is a very popular summer stop and my folks really liked it and found the area quite beautiful. No cars on island which is pretty cool! famous for fudge which is even better!!!!!

Great spa, cooking classes, shopping, finger-bowl dinners as well as casual meals, outdoor pool and fabulous indoor pool, bowling alley, movie theatre, skeet shooting, golf, falconry, horseback riding, carriage rides, etc. And if you want to get your yearly physical, there is a clinic there that people from all over the world go. Nice, cool weather in the summer. There are so many amenities that I can't remember them all. We used to go every summer before we built a home in Seagrove.
Our daughter was asked to write an article in a magazine about it being a great vacation destination, but I can't find the article online. I do have a copy of the magazine. :wave:

San Francisco is wonderful in the summer time (or any time); Fort Collins Colo, Rocky Mountain National Park;
sometimes there is snow in the summer at Loveland Pass. http://continental-divide.net/loveland-pass-colorado.htm

The water is COLD, you can go whale watching, lots to do in some of the other towns for day trips. Great restaurants, interesting people-- where else can you go and watch a cabaret with Liza Minelli and Cher look alikes seated next to other straight couples and have fun? I have a Cape Cod book I can send you. I have extras because I have been meaning to send them to DD.
:wub:...THANKS, y'all are amazing!!! What wonderful suggestions! I did forget to tell you we did an Alaskan cruise with the kids...one of our best trips, ever!! I could def go back there!
I am picking up Mr. K in a bit and will show him this thread! He had sent me a link to a fancy dude ranch in Montana, which spurred (Ha!) me on to ask y'all the question! Is this a great country or what?

the mountains just north of Flagstaff AZ are fantastic...the San Francisco Peaks, I think they
're called. If you go to Oregon there is a little town called Seaside right on the beach and a wonderful state park nearby which has a memorial to the Lewis and Clark first sighting of the Pacific.

Santa Fe has always worked for us. It's one of the coolest art destinations on the planet. Great food, people and culture. Considering that it is the highest (elevation) capital in the country with a low population makes it even more palatable. Enjoy!!!
