With August coming up soon and the summer of 2016 drawing to a close, this is around the cheapest time to vacation! Here are the top five cities to visit in the U.S.
1. Daytona, Florida
If you're looking for a beach getaway that's drivable (being in Texas and all), then I'd highly recommend Daytona! This city gets very populated the time spring break rolls around, but for a late summer vacay? The beaches population will be kept to medium sized and vendors will be out looking to sell you some amazing on the beach food! Not to mention Daytona does bring in more elderly couples and has more golf courses to count on one hand! This gives the family a perfect friendly vibe, along with relaxation for the adults.
2. Savannah, Georgia
I recommend this for people looking for a more relaxed vacation. A historic presence is what makes up Savannah's glory. I will say, the weather is very hot and somewhat humid, however with the indoor museums and restaurants to try it'll be worth it. There are many things to keep occupied while in Savannah, it just takes some time to do some research before heading over!
3. Yosemite National Park, California
If you're an adventurous person and love the outdoors, this is just the place! Yosemite National Park brings in a lot of tourists annually, but the all the views from hiking make this all the worth while. Along with it's 1,200 square miles it won't feel crowded at all. So if interested in hiking alongside nature on a sunny California day, this is just the national park to do it.
4. Timberline Lodge and Ski Area, Oregon
Maybe the summer just isn't your season, and that's okay! The heat is only getting hotter each year, which is why I'm recommending a snow vacation getaway! The Timberline Lodge in Oregon has plenty of snow all year round and is a safe haven decked with gourmet meals, and offers many activities.
So whatever the weather or style of vacation you're feeling this year, the whole U.S. awaits for you to discover it! And if you can't get to it this year, make plans for next summer or even for this upcoming Christmas!
