    We go on vacation every year, usually to the same place. However, my husband and I were just talking about doing something different this year. You gave us a lot of ideas to consider.

    This is great! Thank you for compiling this list. Typically we just stay at a hotel wherever we go… but theres a lot to be said for staying at a resort or lodge that has so many amenities! And these places all seem to be off the beaten path (read: more relaxing). I will definitly refer to this list as we plan our vacay this year!
