Travelling is always cool! There are many ‘cool’ places to go…things to see~however in my life nothing was as ‘cool’ as spending two weeks in Melbourne, Australia!Every little thing was different than what you would normally see at home…it was a sensory overload,truly an experience that I could spend hours describing to you.A definite must see in ones lifetime!

It was super cool!!
Lewis and Clark Caverns in Montana was awesome! We went together as a family and absolutely loved it. We want to go explore more caves throughout the US.

Awesome give away!! I went to London last year and this year in May I went to Paris, France. It was amazing. Just seeing Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower was breath taking. Highly recommend it!!! The stereotype of the French being rude to Americans is not true. I think for the two weeks I was in Paris I could count on one hand the rude people. Everyone was very friendly and I met some awesome people who showed me some really great restaurants that we’re off the beaten path!
My coolest place to go on a vacation so far was Sardis lake in Oklahoma. The mountains were gorgious! We had 15 geese invade our campsite seen swam on 3 different lakes, seen and rock climbed a cave that once was a hiding spot for Belle Star. On our last day we wee forces out by a HUGE storm that almost picked my in-laws off the ground. 🙂

The actual house of the Amityville Horror. Did you know it’s the only house on the street (Ocean Avenue) that faces sideways? Creepy!!
The coolest place I have been so far is a place called Rutledge falls. It’s here in Tennesse and it’s one of the most beautiful places around. If your ever in Tennessee you have to check it out.
Well if you mean “coolest” place opposed to “Coolest” then I guess this takes in both meanings..The coolest place I’ve been was Seneca Caverns in Ohio, and it was so cool in there that I about froze..but it really was cool too except for the bats.. that I just knew were ready to pounce on me and nest in my hair. All the time I was in there I covered my head with the sweater I originally brought to wear..Anyway it was pretty cool, but I’m not too eager to go again for awhile

We cruised to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. It was great. It was the first time I’d seen the ocean. I’m 57.
we did a family trip to Indiana to see the great grandparents but the cool part was the whole way up and back with little side stops. We stopped at a McD in Dalton Georgia and my then 2 yr old puked his way through the tubes so it got shut down and he was handed back to me by the Mcd’s girl wearing gloves to underarms. we also did a snow slide up there(this place made their own snow) not too far from Great grammas, very cool since being Floridians my boys had never seen snow and now they were shooting down a slide on a tobaggon. Then on the way home we did a Mayfield factory tour and had our pictures taken with our hairnets on. Its the small and silly things that made our trip cool. those are the things we will never forget.

West Blocton Ala. It was a side trip, out of the way, but so worth it (thanks hubbs).

Fredericksburg, TX – Love the small town feel
I was born in Mexico, but had not visited in 10 years. When I did return, seeing all the places that were still in my memory from childhood was amazing. I could see streets and corners in my mind but I could never connect them to places until I returned. Seeing the old time market sellers and Spanish churches from the little town I was born in was amazing.
I went to France! Loved the bread and cheese!! Trying to get back soon!!
I’m not sure most people would classify it as cool, but I like to go to Piedmont, MO. It is a very small town with a small lake. We camp there as many times a year as we can work in. It has this little place called Lon Sanders Canyon. There is never anyone there when we go. There is a small creek and there are lots of big bolders for the kids to climb on. It is just really neat & a quiet place to go.
The craziest place I have ever been to is Leakey, Texas, 2 different times for 2 different reasons and about to go back for a 3rd time! 1st time was on a motorcycle ride, with a guy I was dating, thru the twisty roads, other wise known as the “3 Twisted Sisters”.
