Sometimes, a place to perfectly spend our weekends is just what we need to be refreshed and energized from the weight of workloads in our home, office or school.
Based on the article of Travel U.S., here is the list of five places that will give people the serenity, relaxation and vacation they need on weekends. After visiting these places, surely the mind and body will be ready to return to the grind of the Monday workday.
1. Miami Beach - Who doesn't love sun, sand and unlimited fun? As Will Smith once rapped, "Ain't no city in the world like this." From North Miami beach to South Beach (or SoBe as it is popularly called), vacationers will be able to find the kid-friendliest beaches. Miami Beach is a family-friendly vacation spot when the sun is shining, as well as a super-chic hotspot once the evening arrives.
2. Monterey Peninsula - Here, time slows. The place can be very laidback yet sophisticated. With an abundance of natural wonders, luxury resorts and seafood restaurants, Monterey might just be the ideal destination for the next getaway paradise.
3. Santa Barbara - This is a place for indulgence to casual but fashionable elegance. This quiet, seaside paradise might just be the ideal California retreat for the whole gang. And if the price is cost effective, a treat could surely make a dent out of vacation savings.
4. Tucson - Loving the sun? 340. That's the average number of sunny days Tucson sees each year. With nearby mountains and wilderness areas like Saguaro National Park, it can offer a true taste of the Sonoran Desert.
5. Austin - A paradise for anyone who loves the outdoors. Known for their abundant green spaces and a pleasant climate, it is definitely a place for hiking and rock-climbing. But if the outing is about fishing, canoeing or kayaking, this is not a problem as the Colorado River and Town Lake is the perfect place to go.
According to a research released by Forbes, all work and no fun or play is not a good pattern. Aside from having a low productivity, stress will always be sticking around. Splurge into a great weekend retreat and have a time-off from work!
