Favorite Vacation Spot Challenge - May 13 - May 15, 2019
May 12, 2019 20:22:39 #
We've been fortunate over the years to have visited some wonderful places on this place we call earth. We've been to Bermuda, Grand Bahama, Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, the Florida Keys, the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Texas, California, Delaware, Maryland and recently, Washington, DC, and New York City.
Historically, our favorite places to vacation is pretty much anywhere with a beach, although the Outer Banks and Key West are two places we look forward visiting every year.
That said, for many years, we spent a lot of weekends camping, and doing day trips, or if you prefer, “staycations.” We're kind of lucky because we're about 30 minutes east of the Gettysburg Battlefields, about 45 minutes away from all the factory tours in York, PA, and only about a hour away from “dutch” country, Lancaster County, PA.
I'll try to include images from some of our favorite places, and I hope you will share your favorite vacation spots as well.

Good set, and some very nice locations.
I wonder what all the people in photograph #1 are looking at.

Thank you, Richard, I'm glad you liked the set, and I'm glad you asked that question...
Here's just one of over 400 images I captured, and what the people were looking at:

Ahh Tim - Vacation what is that. Other than the time spent in service and helping move my daughter and son in law to Topeka, Kansas in 2005 been in Iowa all my life. Have one place use to go a lot but all photos done in B/W. Just ran across some of them Friday. Wouldn't be good enough to post here. Well see, other than that sorry guy. Have to observe this one.

I think by now everyone here knows my absolute favorite destination is Scotland but we do visit other places, the most recent being NYC. Here are some shots from our visit to Lady Liberty.

Nice set - you have a knack for getting vacation pictures that are not the general run of the mill tourist shots - I really, really like the pier at sunset and the feral horses.

I live in a beautiful area that people come to for vacations, but I also love going out west for vacations. I hope to get to New York City one day, love the shots of Lady Liberty. Good topic for a challenge, Rolk! I can vacation through everyone else's photos. Here are a few of mine from out West..........more to come later.
White Sands New Mexico near sundown

Huecotanks Tanks State Park view(huecos are the holes that capture water when and if it rains.) Near El Paso, Texas
The last three are underground in New Mexico at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
