Who doesn't love to travel in the springtime? The weather is warming up, flowers are blooming, cooler clothes can be worn and you can plan more outdoors activities. And we have an exciting giveaway to help make that happen!

Tell us your spring travel plans or dreams in the comment section below and you can win a collection of Spring Getaway travel bags from Thirty-One, valued at $170!

We turned to five savvy bloggers for ideas on where to travel this season. Their suggestions ranged from cruising to heading to the mountains to the place everyone loves, Walt Disney World! Here's what they had to say.

Cruise

Cruising is by far our favorite family spring adventure! Relaxing poolside with the kids, indulging in delicious desserts, snorkeling in crystal waters and exploring different cultures make for unforgettable memories!" - Bridgette Duplantis, The Experimental Mommy

Mountains

"Anything that gets my family out in the woods is one of our top choices for spring travel. Camping, hiking, kayaking, and paddle-boarding in the North Georgia mountains are all great ways to get back to nature and spend quality time with teens. Since there is poor cell reception in the woods, we generally get to connect with them a lot easier than we do at home where they are attached at the hip to their cell phones!" - Diane Hoffmaster, Turning the Clock Back

Theme Park

"Disney World is a our favorite spring travel destination because there's nothing more heartwarming to see the smile on my daughter's face when she gets to meet her favorite princess." - Linda Grant, NYC Single Mom

Natural Wonders

"A classic vacation that will please both adults and children this spring break is Niagara Falls. The Canadian side does require a passport for those traveling from the U.S. It boasts amazing falls' views, a wide variety of very reasonable hotels, and proximity to all the amazing Niagara Falls experiences. Off season is a great time to visit to score great hotel rates and experience the wonder of the falls without the crowds!" - Lindsey Wetzel Johnston, Crumbs in the Couch

Beach

"Why we love St. Simon's Island: It’s a community, not just a vacation destination. We love to ride bikes on the hard packed sand beach, play corn hole while waiting for our chicken swiss at Brogens, enjoy the best fried shrimp anywhere at Crab Trap, and hang out on the St. Simon’s Island Pier crabbing or seeing what the fisherman bring in. Of course, just hanging out on the beach is fun too." - Sue Rodman, Field Trips with Sue (check out her recent post on St. Simon's).

I love to vacation in Germany 🇩🇪 visiting family, eating delicious German food such as schnitzel and red cabbage, and visiting beautiful castles, towns and historical sites.

A camping trip in Michigan is our only current Spring getaway plan - some hiking, a small boat rental, some lounging and lots of memories. ♥

We love to go on adventures to all different types of places, planned and unplanned! Whether it's Michigan's upper peninsula waterfalls in the middle of winter, or the city lights and mountains of Las Vegas, we love exploring and seeing all of the beautiful landscapes!

We live near the beach. So, tend to stay to other destinations for vacations. Next month we are doing disney. It will be a first for our younger 2. Hoping for cooler weather and smaller wait times. Seeing as it's spring and kids are still in school.

We actually head to disney next month. We live near the beach. So, the beach is what we tend to stay away from when doing an actual vacation. This is a first for my younger 2. We chose disney for the cooler weather and hopeful less of a crowd. Seeing as kids are still in school.

TradeWinds on St. Pete beach has been a family favorite mini-vacation for years. The staff is always accommodating, the atmosphere is delightful and the activities are geared for all age groups.

I'll be traveling to Kansas to visit family and then I'll be taking an early beach trip with my family to South Padre Island. First time traveling completely alone so I'm super excited/nervous!
