8 Ideas for One of the Best Winter Getaways
“He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter.” — John Burroughs
Warm-Weather Winter Vacations
For the Snowbirds
There’s a reason why all the birds fly south in the winter. If you’d like to escape the snow and ice in your hometown, pack your bags and plan a warm-weather getaway! Snowbirds flock to states like Florida, South Carolina, and Texas to enjoy warmer temperatures. Enjoy pleasant outdoor adventures without having to worry about all of the heavy coats and layers. There’s no better way to spend your winter than walking on warm sandy beaches or exploring parks and natural landscapes. Don’t forget your sunglasses!

Winter Sports & Outdoor Activities
For the Adventurous
If the idea of dashing through the snow appeals to you, visit a ski destination for the ultimate winter adventure! When you stay somewhere that gets a lot of snow in the winter, you can indulge in an array of exciting activities ranging from dog sledding and snowboarding to snowshoeing and cross country skiing. The best part of getting out in the ice and snow during the day is curling up by the fire with a glass of red wine or a hot cup of cocoa in the evening.
