Some of the best places in America are in Hawaii. No surprise there. But there are plenty of others across the country--Savannah, St. Louis, New Mexico and Indianapolis, to name few. And then there is Boring, Oregon.
All of those places were singled out during our October 11 TravelingMom Twitter Party when we asked: What discoveries have you made in America? honor of Columbus Day.
Our twitterers told us food surprises, favorite places and even shared some of their hidden gems. Here’s a recap of all the fun:
What’s the best place you’ve ever discovered in America?
@DinaJ: Kauai, Hawaii! Pure Paradise.
@theculturemom: I’m crazy about San Francisco.
@HittheRoadca: New Mexico. Especially the North.
@GoBig_GoHome: I would vote for the Hudson Valley even if I didn’t live here! Especially this time of year…gorgeous foliage, mountains, river…
@CindyRichards: Do I have to pick just one? Biggest surprises were Indianapolis, Albuquerque, Savannah and St. Louis
What’s the worst place you ever discovered in America?
@ciesla504: Brownsville, TX! Will never forget, worst vacation our family ever took.
@dianarowe: I use the adage, I’ll try a travel destination once, give it another chance, but then three times I get it.
@mandyOregon: We have a town called Boring, Oregon…the name speaks for itself.
What’s the most touristy place in America? What do you like about it?
@trisha71478: Disney World and I love it for the children. Good clean fun!
Disney was the #1 answer for most touristy. But there were a few others…
@worldshoppe: Other than Disney, has to be LA for me. Can live without LA except they do have nice shopping on Melrose Ave.
@CindyRichards: Tough choice, but I’d have to say Wisconsin Dells. But I love all the entrepreneurs there. And Noah’s Ark Waterpark.
@DinaJ: I do love NYC! Broadway, Manhattan, Serendipity, bagels, etc
What is worth discovering in your town?
These twitterers love their hometowns….
@trisha71478: I live in Houston and think that BBQ is worth discovering in my town!
@thegeekwife: I live in an amazing town: Birmingham, AL. Great food, music, Railroad Park, lots of green spaces, 2 Botanical Gardens Zoo
@CindyRichards: I love Chicago (all but winter)—the lakefront, museums, theatre, food, And free stuff too.
@arrowssentforth: The world’s largest children’s museum is in Indianapolis. Not only BIG, but AMAZING!
@edenjoy: Brooklyn all over! Lovin’ “Brucie” new in Cobble Hill- yum, inventive food, local and they taught my daughter to make fresh pasta
Where did you discover the best food in America? What was it?
@LuxuryTravelMom: Best food in America is San Francisco there is not a single restaurant besides the tourist traps that isn’t AMAZING!
@kailey2004: Cheeseburger Cheesburger in Hunstville, Alabama
@SMLCFH: North Carolina BBQ!
@flywithbaby: Mesa, AZ has amazing Mexican cuisine. This is making me hungry!
What’s your best kept secret?
@ciesla504: Esch Beach/Otter Creek near Empire MI Shhh!!!
@VintageTen: Snacks on a trip make everyone happy!
@CruiseBuzz: the beach front cottages at Crystal Cove State Park. Lottery the first of every month. Amazing. Historic.
@edenjoy: Mexican Hat, Utah. One stoplight town with less than 100 people. Cool motel and a famous “swinging steak”!
@kymri: Ok…the best months to visit San Diego are October and February. Seriously. Summer is overcast and June is gloomy and crowded!
@DinaJ: Hamura Saimin Stand in Lihue, Hawaii. You sit at a big table with locals. So good. Lilikoi pie there is amazing!
