What’s your favorite US travel destination?

I’ve really focused on travel over the past 3 years. Especially because every 1-2years I meet up with two dear friends who love across the country. The first year we went to Sonoma (one friend lives in the Bay Area California) and the second year we spent a little time in Seattle (where my other friend lives) and then we took a ferry to Orcas Island for a couple of days. (A hike on the island is pictured above!). This year they came to the east coast and we went to the Asheville, NC area. Where should we go next??
