And speaking of vacation inspiration...leave us a comment below with your favorite vacation spot and the reason why it's your favorite...and we will draw one winner on Friday (July 18) for a $25 Target gift card {to pick up that sunscreen and travel toothpaste for your next trip}.

Really lovely Maria, I don't really understand what 'Southern Charm' is but I really like the soft feel of this board!

Rome! But it's hard to run away to Rome for a weekend, so my next choice would be upstate NY - it's so beautiful and peaceful there.

I don't want to enter for the card (i'm already married and I'm sure someone else can use it more then me!) but I have to say my favorite place I've ever been in the world is Jordan...hands down! Everyone should go once in their life!

My favorite vacation spot has to be Camp Taylor in Columbia, NJ, up in the mountains by the Delaware Water Gap. It a beautiful spot to go camping and just relax without all the hustle and bustle. Since I live at the Jersey Shore, the beach is my everyday vacation, which is a life-saver.

Destin, Florida. The soft, never too hot, white sand beaches and the striking sea blue colored ocean is heaven on Earth. I love renting a house and spending my days laying on the beach with a good book ... I wish I was there right now!

Mexico! My fiance and I are going in 3 weeks after we finish the bar exam!

Home! I live in NYC but home will always be a small farm in Minnesota.

Any beach with clear blue water is the perfect vacation for me. There is just something so soothing about the ocean.

Definitely Florida! I have never had a bad vacation anywhere in Florida. This thursday the fiance & I leave for Key West for a family wedding! I haven't been to Florida in 2 years so I'm super excited!

The Outer Banks is my favorite place to be and is where my fiance and I got engaged :)

Anywhere where there is fresh powder and a pair of skis. My favorite is Vail. What a great contest--so fun to dream!

that is a great inspiration board. Definitely has that "southern" feel about it. I am really a fan of Fort Lauderdale- my grandparents have a house there and we like to go stay there b/c it's free. But it honestly is my favorite place to go because I just have so many fond memories of vacations there growing up!

Naples, Florida - The older crowd gives it a real low key adult atmosphere. If for nothing else but perusing shops, eating at nice little restaurants, watching fabulous sunsets, white sand beaches and the Everglades - this to me is Florida. Oh and can't forget the eye candy of waterfront estates and mansions around every corner.

my favorite vacation spot is cape cod. particularly eastham. my grandparents once had a home there and that's where we'd go for our family vacations when i was little. every time i cross over the bourne bridge and see the "cape cod" hedges, i am overwhelmed with so many beautiful memories of my childhood at the cape.

Oh I love this board! My favorite vacation is to Jekyll Island, GA. The island is complete with Southern Mansions and Houses and surrounded by Spanish Moss Trees. Just steps away from the southern paradise are gorgeous white sandy beaches. It's the best!

My very favorite place in the world is Seaside, FL. It's the most wonderful little beach town on the gulf coast and I can't wait to go back in October. It's the first vacation we took as a couple, the first place we took our daughter and we're renewing our vows there! We plan to buy a house there as soon as we can. I love it!

My favorite vacation is New York City. Seeing the sites, the fantastic food, museums, and the whole vibe of the city is so amazing. I can't wait to go back, every time is a new adventure in the concrete jungle!

If I had my choice, I would always vacation in Cortona, Italy. I studied abroad there in college and ever since it's held a special place in my heart. The people are so loving and really understand how to live life to the fullest!

Home in Michigan - after moving out east I've really come to miss the easy, laid-back vibe that comes with where I grew up!
Posted by: Christina | July 14, 2008 at 12:15 PM
my favorite vacation spot is Marco Island, Florida. Growing up we spent our Easter vacations there.

Wisconsin Dells--beautiful weather, great places to stay, and so many fun things to do--fits everyone's preferences!

Beautiful board! My favorite vacation spot is Cannon Beach, Oregon. My fiancé and I travel to this amazing Oregon beach a least once a year. Last year while we were there he asked me to marry him!!!

My favorite vacation spot is Paris. I've never been to a city more beautiful or romantic!

My favorite vacation spot is Glacier National Park in Montana. It's so beautiful, remote, and peaceful. It's also where we're getting married!
