Dollywood may not be the country's oldest amusement park, nor as popular and well-known as Disney or Six Flags, but if you're a Dolly Parton fan, it is a must-visit. For those in the know, even if you're not the biggest Parton fan, Dollywood is still a fantastic, fun, and family-friendly theme park and a much-loved Tennessee vacation destination. But for visitors on July 17, 2024, they had their Dollywood vacation plans put on an abrupt hold: The whole park got shut down after a massive water main break, just about an hour after the park opened for the day.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Summer vacation means many different things. For some folks, it’s all about jetting off to a fabulous European hotspot like the French Riviera or the Amalfi Coast. Others prefer something more low-key but still in the general vicinity such as the Algarve. Of course, if you don’t have time (or the desire) to cross the Atlantic, that’s OK too. There’s still plenty of fun in the sun to be had stateside, from the golden beaches of California to South Carolina’s Lowcountry region. One of our favorite coastal corners of the country during virtually any season, New England, really hits its stride in late summer and early fall. The clapboard cottages, lighthouses, and historic storefronts look particularly captivating basking in a warm glow. The ocean finally warms up enough to go swimming. Outdoor activities abound. And the fresh seafood never seems to run out.

Coastal New England Towns To Visit This Summer

The jagged cliffsides on the coastline of Bruce Peninsula National Park are awe-inspiringly beautiful, but they might also be the best place to spend your summer vacation. It may seem surprising that rocky cliffs and dense pine forests in Ontario, Canada would be where you'd want to spend your relaxing summer getaway, but for those looking to beat extreme temperatures in a low-key destination, this is the place to be. Temperatures in the region are often anywhere from the high 60s to the mid-80s in the summertime, and while the shore may be hot, the water stays cold, so you'll be in for a refreshing swim if you decide to take the plunge.
