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'd love to finally do something fun with my family.

Travel to Minocqua, WI then head north to Bayfield, Ashland, Superior and Duluth, MN. Minocqua is a small island town in northern WI surrounded by freshwater lakes. There is so much to do - fishing, boating, camping, biking trails, nature hikes, water ski shows, music in the park and more. On Monday nights starting in June you can drive 7-8 miles to a smaller town, Lake Tomahawk, and watch men play softball on Snowshoes. The Snowshoe baseball capital and don't miss out on the amazing pies baked by local Lioness Club! Get there early to get pie! Then head further north to the shores of Lake Superior. The town of Superior, WI and Duluth, MN are our favorites! Put up a lawn chair on the beach, listen to the waves, collect agates, climb the large rocks along the shoreline that have been worn flat from the waves. Visit the aerial lift bridge, Maritime Center and Canal Park in downtown Duluth. Pick up a poster of the sunken ships in Lake Superior.

Not going to make it this year, but want to take my 4 kids to DC to see the cherry blossoms in bloom and visit all the monuments. DC is by far my favorite city to visit!
