Truth or Consequences: Charming, quirky desert town

Stuart, Florida

Superabundant sailfish

Gold and silver recovered from shipwrecked Spanish galleons lent this region the nickname "Florida's Treasure Coast." Today's treasures come with the excitement of deep-sea fishing.

Burnet, Texas

Bluebonnet bounty

Texas Hill Country transforms into a sea of bluebonnets each spring; one quaint town celebrates with a festival. Come any time for seaplane and adventure flying—and burgers served up with a backrub.

Sacramento, California

California's casual capital

A visit to the world's sixth-largest economy is sure to please everyone in your party from children to nonagenarians. Don't miss the giant oak trees and bird life in the Cosumnes River Preserve.

Boulder City, Nevada

No-hassles Hoover Dam gateway

Built for the construction of the Hoover Dam, Boulder City boasts the best access to Lake Mead and the dam, water sports, and the World Famous Coffee Cup Cafe. Plus, it's cheaper than Vegas.

Alexandria, Virginia

Founding Fathers and chic shoppers

Follow the footsteps of the Founding Fathers as you dine in a pub that opened in 1770. Take in the breathtaking cherry blossoms after a Potomac boat cruise and stroll by trendy boutiques.
