I find myself turning to Travelocity.com more and more at this time of year. I need an escape.

Let’s spend this Saturday sharing our best-loved vacation escapes. What locale do you long for when the end of a long winter seems nowhere in sight? Is your favorite getaway experience a family affair or a honeymoon repeat? Maybe a girls’ weekend free of family obligations?

Here’s mine: Outer Banks, North Carolina, with about 45 of my favorite family members. The week we spend together every other year is as close to heaven as I’ve found. What could be better than a quiet beach, a stack of books to read, dozens of aunts, uncles, and cousins to hang out with, evening board game competitions, and a pantry that is always stocked with popcorn and peanut butter M&Ms?

What’s your great escape?
