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).

My mom passed. Making something good come of it by traveling to reconnect family. Doing the weekend trips state to state. Then do something solely unique to me, but will know at that point.

My kids and I are traveling to see family in Jacksonville, FL. We haven' been there in over 11 years. Far too long for me!

We're going to the beach for a long weekend (and a family 5k!). And I'm researching another spot for later on.

My itty bitty niece, Maia, is turning one on April 30th. To celebrate, we're taking her to a tiny treehouse vacation in Seguin, TX. It's a beautiful place, sleeps 6 people, but it'll only be the five of us, including baby Maia. We're really looking forward to it!

Don't have any plans this spring. Just weekend trips for Mtn Bike Racing w/my husband and 2 sons. Want to go to Lake Tahoe but we shall see. Also have a friend in MT that I'd love to go visit. Thanks for the giveaway and I tweeted here: https://twitter.com/RTenderholt/status/722983151690244096

I will be heading to the lake where my family and I can disconnect our mobile devices (no service out in the area) and enjoy Mother Nature and each other's company!

I just took a road trip by myself to Savannah, Georgia from Ohio. It was my first time there and I loved it. The combination of beautiful weather, proximity to the water, many squares to walk around or hang out in, and the blend of the old (history) and new make Savannah the perfect place to visit in the spring.
