Pack your bathing suits it’s time for the best places to visit in the USA in February. I know, it’s hard to peel yourself away from the good ol’ fashioned fun of Groundhog’s day, avoiding Valentine’s day bullcrap, and terrible weather–but consider a trip. You might just find a fantastic place to enjoy in the cold heart of winter.
I like February personally, because I love winter and hate the holidays (Christmas and New Year’s, but mainly Christmas.) Most people are not like me though–this I learned a long time ago, after many awkward silences post saying things like “right, guys?” So. many. silences. Still, I can understand why people would want to get away in February.
