Boomer Travel Deals At Home
Sunday, January 20th, 2008American Boomer’s love Boomer Travel Deals at home because we have loved to load up the family car and hit the road since the first Ford.
These days it may be the Winnebago, or whatever RV you might happen to own, but baby boomer’s are loading up and hitting the road in greater and greater numbers. Just ask my friends at Ty and Mariwho have a great blog and are traveling all over the Pacific northwest and the southwest in their motor home. They literally sold their home and hit the road in September 2007 and they love it.
More and more Americans are realizing there are treasures unexplored right here at home and that it is possible that you will never get to see them all.
Two of my favorite places on the list that we have compiled are as follows: The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Yes, you must go there and you must plan on staying at least a week. Then there is The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia, where princes and presidents have vacationed and escaped to. Shouldn’t you?
The Homestead was founded ten years before-yes before-the American Revolution. I think that qualifies it as sacred ground, don’t you?
Everyone keeps running off to warm weather vacations but darlings don’t go soft on me now. A brisk cold weather vacation when you are all bundled up and ready for a walk is wonderful for your health and vitality. You know that don’t you?
I have learned the value of the change of seasons. As readers know, I love to escape to Greece or Costa Rica myself, but the atmosphere of ski resorts is like a large and friendly fraternity party; while I am not so hot on the slopes, my honey loves to ski. More than that we just love the magnificent grandeur of The Homestead and the Biltmore Estate.
These two landmark sites in Virginia and North Carolina reek of history and good old fashioned American entrepreneurial success at its best. These guys knew how to dream large. They had vision. Talk about “think and grow rich!” The Secret has always been alive and well. It’s just that not very many people knew about it. Just look at this video of the Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway of North Carolina and see what I mean!
When you explore the links above you will be so excited. First of all the images melt your tension just looking at them. ( I call it my www mini mental vacation.) Check out the Italian Gardens and the Vineyards at The Biltmore. Did I mention the Equestrian Center? They aren’t kidding when they say “vacation like a Vanderbilt!”
Here’s a couple of wedding and honeymoon spots for Boomer’s. Besides all that, there is still Asheville to see while you are there.
Mineral Hot Springs
Maybe you’d just like a getaway. There is The Spa at The Homestead and whether you ski or not you can still take advantage of that even if you only go for a weekend. Have you not heard about the mineral waters at The Homestead? They don’t call it Hot Springs, Virgina for nuthin’.
Seriously Boomers! You could spend your next 10 vacations at these two beautiful American landmark treasures and you would still want to go back. If you haven’t been to either one yet, you are a deprived boomer and I don’t care if you have seen the world in the meantime.
Book your vacation today.
If you are a spontaneous type and just want to grab a getaway and would enjoy the drive, so much better for taking in the views because both locations are visual delights and the approach and anticipation are at least half the fun.
Stop working so hard all the time and go have some fun. Isn’t that the point of it all?
