  • DeAnn O

    My favorite summer road trip destination is the beach – for short trips. For a longer trip – I love going to Colorado and enjoying the mountains and the trees and fresh air and all the sights we see on the way. 🙂

  • Andrea Borries

    I think my favorite road trip destination would have to be “Up North.” When I was growing up, every summer my family loaded up the car (and boat – we had a lot of stuff!), drove to a lake resort in Northern Minnesota and rented a cabin for a week. It was usually a different resort every year, but it was always so much fun.

  • Brian Poteraj

    My favorite place is Big Bear. It is close by and pretty. And has a little zoo

  • Kathy

    Favorite road trip was camping through out Canada, visiting parks, lakes, and cooking over a campfire every day. Eating s’mores, of course!!!

  • Denise L

    My favorite road trip is visiting my Aunt and Uncle in Maryland and driving to their new cabin in the mountains. It’s like a piece of heaven with all the land the own for us to ride quads, archery, have camps fires and see deer when we wake up.

  • sheila palm

    Our favorite destination is to camp at Sequoia National Park. We’ve spent many vacations there which did include nightly s’mores making around the campfire.

  • Janie Griffin

    I love our annual beach trip to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It’s a big family reunion with my brothers and sisters and their children and grandchildren plus sand, sun and beach music!

  • S M.

    My favorite road trip is a golf getaway with friends.

  • D

    My favorite road trip destination is my sister’s house, or a trip to see any family member!

  • Denise Bryant

    Favorite road trip is to head to Disneyland! It’s about an 8 hour drive from home, but my favorite place to go!

  • Wahnita Hammond

    That would be my 6+ hours road trip to share a fun weekend with my favorite gals! We spend the weekend crafting, laughing histerically, and just enjoying being together. With this group of 30 ladies there’s sure to be lots of food, drink, and ooey gooey treats to go along with the late night fun!!!! 😉

  • Becky Jones

    I would like to see some of the National Parks!

  • Diana Wilson

    Camping in a camper at Cuttys. Peaceful.

  • Cheryl J Holmes

    Camping in a trailer would be great. I want to go on a Road Trip! Goal: Pacific Coast Highway! Leisurely! We did 3100 miles in 10 days with 10 (ages 3 to 70) in a van a couple of years ago.

  • Emily Henry

    Our favorite road trip is to visit my cousin who lives in Maryland, just outside of Washington DC. It is so close to Arlington, Mt. Vernon, Annapolis and downtown DC. We are never at a loss to be awed by the grandeur and the history. I guess as we age we appreciate it even more. We are reminded of our trips there with the kids as they were growing up. We took our camper everywhere with them and they still remember it all-even the evening campfires with S’mores and singing!

  • Sharyn Budek

    I think my favorite road trip would be to visit my grandchildren. It’s been waay to long since I’ve gotten to “hug” their necks. Need ……S’more!!!!

  • Laura Holt

    I’m not a traveler, except to go to see my grandchildren on the other side of PA …….. so I guess Dallas, PA, is my favorite destination!

    Love the new stamps!

  • Vicki P

    Oh wow smores is some yummy gooey goodness for sure! 🙂 Fall is my favorite time of year and every Fall is our local “scenic drive” festival for long stretches of miles where people have tents in towns, buildings, their own homes, etc etc etc to sell many things like arts and crafts, antiques, collectibles, flowers, food and more! The weather is nice and cool, the food is yummy and the scenic route is just fun! I love to pick out my pumpkins during this time as well and take a trip about an hour away to Tanner’s Apple Orchid to pick apples from the trees and other yummy goodies! 🙂

  • Donna Schnees

    Our favorite road trip is when we rode our CanAm Spyder to Québec, Canada for their homecoming. The mountains are gorgeous, the roads are winding, the scenery was just breathtaking and the mountain we had to go over was an awesome ride. Camping in the mountains is a must and so are s’mores!

  • Debbie J

    My favorite road trip is along the gulf coast of Florida! I love the white sands along the northern edge.

  • Sue McDougall

    The best road trip for me is the one that leads to family and friends! And right now that is to Chicago from Arizona!:)

  • Nancy Emery

    Manitoulin Island in Ontario Canada is one of my favorite places to visit. Lots of hiking trails, waterfalls and no fast food restaurants.

  • AutismMommy

    That s’mores set is sooo amazing! What a great gift idea for anyone in our lives! My favorite road trip adventures is driving to Tampa to see my parents!! It’s a 5 hour drive which isn’t to far, but with 2 young boys, it feels like a 10 hour trip ????

  • Bethany

    I love the smores set!! It is so cute! I have been on so many road trips that it is hard to pick just one favorite destination. Alaska is my favorite, with glacier national park, Yosemite, or Olympic national park as a close second.

  • Rachel Duong

    Cle Elum Washington – a small town with a cabin surrounded by rivers lakes and streams. Blue skies and four seasons!

  • Syd

    My husband and I sold our home after our kids all moved out and we thought we would try living in our motorhome for a little while.
    Well one year turned into seven!
    We traveled throughout Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
    I became a Camp Host for a few years and had lots of smores!
    The set brings back memories as we saw the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest, petroglyphs and so much more.

  • Linda Hedfelt

    My favorite destination is not very far away, maybe 2 1/2 hours towards the coastline of Texas…but it is to visit my grandchildren…and that is worth the trip no matter how far away!!! Thanks for the chance to win…such a cute idea!

  • Debbie Mageed

    My RA really prevents road trips now but when my children were 6 and 3 years old, my husband and I planned a road trip to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It was a long trip with 2 young children so we decided to make the journey part of the vacation, finding fun stops along the way and spending the night. We had the best time on the JOURNEY to Cape Cod, then made more great memories once we arrived. Loved this vacation!

  • Denise Hohrman

    My favorite road trip is to Lake Superior in Northern Minnesota! My husband and I go for a long weekend every couple of months. When I see that beautiful expanse of water, all my cares just float away and I can truly relax. AND, I always have a stamping project packed! I have even stamped out on the rocks while listening to the waves.

  • Karen Hallam

    Adorable! One of my favorite road trips is up the highway to Lake Tahoe. It’s about 2 hours away, up out of the valley heat, beautiful scenery and nice campgrounds.

  • Liz Hawley

    Anywhere that we can go as a family. Can be a short trip or a long trip but love it when everyone can get together and make memories.

  • Cynthia Pryor

    We have an RV and live in North Texas. When it’s so hot in summer, nothing is better than packing up and heading to the beach or a lake somewhere. We’ve been to Lake of the Ozarks, Gulf Shores, AL, and this year we’re headed to Port Aransas, TX. Anywhere to escape the heat. We have cooked on an open fire in the spring and love to have smores! Cute set of stamps! Thanks for the inspiration.

  • Christine Cox

    McClain State Park near Calumet, MI. It is my favorite place to camp, and where my husband proposed to me 27 years ago. The campground is right on Lake Superior, and the sunsets are amazing. Love it there.

  • Beth KS

    I love driving out to the Black Hills of South Dakota. That’s where my husband and I honeymooned (we celebrated 25 years on July 10!). We returned there with our kids when they were in middle school. Both are in college now. Probably time to go again 🙂

  • Marisela Delgado

    My favorite road trip was going to Mexico to visit our family. Yum, good food! REAL Mexican food. =) And the Coca-Cola is better because they use real sugar cane to sweeten their sodas. YUMMM!!

  • Rebecca Ednie

    We went on a road trip once to Ocean City New Jersey. It has the most beautiful boardwalk and it’s an entire town with no chain or big box stores. We had such an amazing time trying out all the restaurants and browsing through the little shops. It was a really really fun trip.

  • KT Fit Kitty

    Very, very cute! My favorite roadtrip destination is more of a daytrip destination. It’s about 2 hrs from here, a small town by the ocean and so picturesque – Digby, NS. I hope we can go again this summer!

  • Susan Engblom

    I am always excited about seeing our granddaughters because we live 1300 miles away from them. Nothing better than their excited, smiling faces running to meet our car. Thank you, Taylored Expressions, for all your marvelous products.

  • Tammy Arndt

    Such a cute stamp set and fun idea! We are lucky enough to live in Colorado so our road trips are very frequent in our R-Pod camper/trailer 🙂 We love all of our State parks, great for hiking and enjoying the scenery!

  • Dianne L

    Love this set!! My fave destination for summer is a weekend in Chicago – spent on the lakefront, the museums, the theater. Getting my city fix!

  • Angie Hall

    A road trip to anywhere in Colorado would be my pick. There are so many wonderful places to enjoy there. Our family has made several trips to the national park and other spots over the years. Thanks for the prize.

  • Sabrina Radican

    Boy that’s a hard one I really love going to New Orleans, Nashville, and Memphis but I also love going to Arthur City Texas to be with my Cousins.
    These stamp sets are absolutely adorable!!

  • Christine Kiehl

    I would have to agree with the beach as it’s my temple. A place to reward myself with peace and quiet to reflect and rejuvenate my soul! Thanks for always giving away such fantabulous gifts!

  • Lisascreativeniche

    I love anywhere with a beach!!!

  • Flo

    My favorite road trip is the drive up to Pismo Beach. We go multiple times a year.

  • Sue D

    My favorite road trip would be to visit my son and family in S Carolina.

  • Mary

    My favorite road trip was when Wayne and I went in search to see as many old covered bridges in Northern NH as we possibly could in one day. We took lots of photos and had lots of fun seeing some of the history that NH has to offer. Smile BIG! 🙂

    Mary from NH

    • Sharon miles

      My favorite place is Cape San Blas ,Fl. My daughter and I go there because it’s beautiful, pet friendly and non commercialized.

  • karenajo

    My favorite road trip is just exploring our beautiful state of Colorado. There are so many interesting and historical places to see. We also have several railroad trips available that are so much fun!

  • Janet Sisk

    My favorite road trip EVER was when my hubby and I went to Yellowstone for our 20th anniversary. We stayed in a B & B right on the river. We were at the north entrance of the park so on day 1 we drove all morning all the way down to the Grand Tetons for the day. And then after that each day we would go down just above the location of the day before. By the last day we were doing all the things that were close to the north entrance. That way we were not so exhausted for our trip home. Oh and if you do it you HAVE TO get up super early (like 4:30am) and get out to the park because that is when you see all the wildlife up close and personal. We would have to sit in the road and wait for the Bison/elk to move off to the side. By the time midday arrived you hardly saw an animal unless it was WAY OFF the road. Anyway it was so incredible to see mountains, geysers, waterfalls, animals and more all in the same park. The different landscapes was amazing. And my second best roadtrip was to the 5 National Parks in Southern Utah – Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon and Zion. We did them all in one week with a day in each park, but 2 days in Arches and Zion. LOVED that trip, too. Anyway, thanks for a chance to win such a great prize!!! 😀

  • Sobia

    Branson, Mo is a fun road trip!

  • Angie VC

    We have not been road tripping much as the kids have gotten to be teenagers…after reading all these comments, I think I need a camping trip! Maybe Wisconsin for some canoeing?!?!

  • Anne Sturgeon

    We have put on thousands of miles on our Harley for about 25 years. Each trip more special and we loved being out in the open air. We recently traveled to South Dakota to Mt. Rushmore in our car. It was so beautiful as was the road trip. Those s’mores kits are adorable. My granddaughters just camped with us and they adored their s’mores .

  • Cynthia Cole

    My favorite road trip is to Pennsylvania to see one of my brothers. Start off the trip on flat open land and end up in the mountains. The surrounding area in his neighborhood is breathtaking. Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous prize. Love the name of the stamp and die combo, Ooey Gooey!

  • Diane Beard

    My favorite road trip….that was not a hard question as I love packing the car and heading “Up North” to our cabin in central Minnesota. We are 75 feet from the lake, where we can fish, swim, make s’mores and RELAX. I even take enough of my craft supplies to make cards. It is also on the same lake that I grew up on. Couldn’t get any better than that!

  • Shelly M

    We just returned from Nathrop CO and our family enjoyed it there so much! It is in the Rocky Mountains near hot Springs, rafting, fly fishing, hiking, biking, etc. We loved the change in landscape from Iowa. We drove so it was nice to have our whole family together in the car for a while. Lives become so busy as families grow up so I cherish these moments together.

  • Deb W.

    I still love making the road trip to relatives in Wisconsin. As a kid I thought that it was at the edge of the world and took such a long time to get there, but now I see it was only 5 hours. We enjoy sitting around the small pool at my Aunt’s home, it is only 4 feet deep, she doesn’t swim, but still it’s fun to play water volleyball. In the evening the s’mores come out at the fire pit, so the s’mores stamp brings warm and happy memories.

  • Liz H

    Lake Quinalt, in WA state. Every time I visit my brother in Seattle, I rent a car, and take a ferry over the Puget Sound, and then drive & stay at the Lodge on Lake Quinalt, on the Olympic peninsula. Gorgeous lake in the middle of a rain forest. The 1926 lodge is perfect with huge stone fireplace, and a terrace that overlooks the lake. They even have hiking trails. YES !!! the place to go to relax. Leave the Cell phone turned off, as there is only WiFi in the lobby.

  • Arianna Barbara

    My favorite road trip is Yosemite in USA and all the South of Italy.

  • Sherry

    I’m in Michigan and we have so many places to visit with fabulous lakes. So my favorite road trip is typically to Northern Michigan and be near a lake. I love to visit other states too but Northern Michigan is so peaceful and has some of the most beautiful sunsets.

  • Eva Wierzbinski

    My favorite road trip was driving from Southern California to Washington. Driving along the coast was incredible!

  • Gloria

    My favorite road trip is Yosemite! Anything that involves nature and animals gets a big plus from me.

  • Charlotte Deerborn

    During the summer my favorite road trip is up in the mountains, and since I live in the foothills of the Cascades it is not far to go.

  • Peggy

    I live in Wisconsin so my favorite road trip is driving up to Door County. My husband and I just went in June. Great views, great food and wonderful sunsets.

  • Beverly Perdue

    The beach is always my favorite destination. I love the ocean, the sand, and the waves. That is my happy place.

  • Kathy J in Ellicott City

    Favorite road trip destination is a national park. I would love to see them all, I have been fortunate enough to see quite a few of the larger ones, but not all.

  • shartl

    My favorite roadtrip is up to the mountains, either Yosemite or Lake Tahoe. They’re close enough that my two girls don’t go completely stir crazy, but really beautiful scenery and lots to do.

  • Pam Garrett

    Favorite day trips: Driving the back roads of New England to make the most of the great summer weather and visiting the many botanical gardens throughout the area.

  • A Kidd

    I love taking a road trip to my sister’s cabin in the Smokey Mountains. It’s right on a river where we love to tube down the river or sit outside and eat watermelon and watch the other tubers going down the river.

  • R. Hill

    My favorite road trip is to any small historical town with a museum, added bonus if they’re doing a living history that day! Here in California’s Gold Country, there’s always something to see and learn.

  • Mary Holshouser

    We have a condo on the lake of the Ozarks. I love going down
    there to spend time swimming in the lake, boating to restaurants
    that are on the water, and just getting away from the regular
    duties of the week. txmlhl(at)yahoo(dot)com

  • Dana M

    Road trip to Canada. We stay on an island and go fishing, so fun! The s’more treats look fantastic!

  • Mary Kay Ross

    I used to fly down to Sanibel Island, FL every year when I was in my twenties to meet up with my parents, stay a few days, and then help my dad with the 12 hour drive back to Atlanta. I had not been back since my dad died almost 30 years ago until this past year when my husband and I drove down. Now, we are making it a tradition to visit every February. That’s my favorite road trip full of old memories and new adventures!!!!

  • Ruth Dupchen

    My favorite road trip is to upper New York State. When I was a child my parents took us to so many fun places in NY and when I had my family we took the same trip over and over again because they have so many things to do. Places I enjoyed were The North Pole, Frontier Town, Animal Land, Lake George, Lake Placid, Whiteface Mountain, Gaslight Village just to name a few. If I ever have grandchildren I would love to take them too.

  • Phyllis Freese

    I’d pick Montanta because my daughter moved there this year and we plan to visit her in a few months.

  • Evelyn

    I love short trips to small towns, and in the summer we go a lot to Wisconsin and Michigan.

  • Stampinggrandma

    We love to take weekend trips to Duluth. Beautiful screenery & so many sites to see.

  • Chris DuBois

    My favorite road trip is to Sanibel Island in Flordia. No camping for me!

  • SharonKay

    That’s a hard one because I would travel most anywhere if I could. I do love the national parks, though, & hope to go to more parks that I have not been to yet.

  • Avra Williams

    Northern Michigan – Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor Springs – on Lake Michigan.
    2nd favorite would be Nashville, where my daughter is now living!

  • Jean marmo

    Favorite road trip has to be to our cottage on a lake in northern Michigan. We swim, fish, boat with family and friends. The day ends with a campfire and, of course, s’mores. It is a little slice of heaven.

  • Martha Acord

    My favorite road trip is to the mountains. Second favorite is the TE Studio!!

  • Lynn Gauthier

    My Fave Road Trip is going out to Wixom Lake. The country roads take my mind away from all my troubles and the final destination is a fabulous boat ride around the lake. So quiet, peaceful and calm!!! Exactly what I need right now. I also bring along a picnic basket full of goodies to munch on or we order a pizza and have supper on the boat.

  • isabel z

    My favorite road trip destination is Cape Cod. Love the ocean breeze and the cool evenings. Nice to escape the heat of Northern VA.

  • Michele K. Henderson

    Oooh smores are the BEST! My favorite road trip destination has always been my home state of Wisconsin in the summertime! But now we live too far away to make that trip by car, so we’ll have to find someplace new!

  • Sheri D

    I loved camping when the kids were small. Now I go with those same kids. Last summer we went to Myrtle Beach and had a ball. Being in Nebraska where we are landlocked it was a wonderful change. I could sit and watch the ocean forever!

  • Amy McClintock

    Such a cute stamp set, reminds me of many camping trips. It’s not camping without s’mores! Colorado and the Ozarks are a couple of our favorite destinations.
