Fun Places to See in the U.S.
- The Texas Hill Country offers rolling hills and Old World charm.Texas Hill Country image by jedphoto from Fotolia.com
Located west of Austin and just north of San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country might seem like it belongs more in Europe than in Texas. The colorful, lush green hills that fill this area provide opportunities for culture and beautiful sights all at once. Enjoy the wineries that dot the landscape -- there are 22 in the Texas Hill Country -- or visit some of the many food and music festivals occurring throughout the year. The breathtaking beauty of the area, complemented by the many attractions and things to do, make this a fun place to see. - More than 750 islands fill this region of the Pacific Coast off Washington State; only 40 are inhabited, and ferry services travel to just three of them. Visit Orcas Island, considered the most beautiful of all the islands, and stand on top of Mount Constitution to see as far as Mount Rainier and Vancouver, British Columbia. If you go, take the ferries around the islands. Although commuters and other travelers use them, it is also the best way to take in the full impact of these islands.
- Myrtle Beach offers beautiful beaches and plenty of attractions and activities.myrtle beach south carolina ocean view image by Jorge Moro from Fotolia.com
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, has long been a popular destination for summer travelers. Its beautiful shoreline, pleasant weather, enjoyable shops and wonderful restaurants have entertained tourists for years. However, these are not the only attractions any more: the 55-acre Hard Rock Park, recently renamed Freestyle Music Park, is known as the world's first rock-and-roll theme park, complete with roller coasters and fireworks spectacles. - Las Vegas has something for everyone.eiffel in las vegas image by jimcox40 from Fotolia.com
Long known as one of the most fun locations in the United States, Las Vegas provides something for everyone. The casinos and glitzy shows of the Strip remain a big draw, but the city has made an effort in recent years to increase its appeal as a family-friendly vacation destination. Visit any number of the local hotels, such as Mandalay Bay or Excalibur, for a renovated pool experience. Stay at the Flamingo Las Vegas to swim in the elaborately designed, 15-acre tropical oasis, complete with a subterranean grotto and several waterfalls. Las Vegas' perfect desert location makes it an ideal fun getaway for all ages.
