Many families go on vacation during the summer – it's a great time to relax and chill after a hectic school year.

Read on, as some of our Scoop readers write in to tell us about their favorite spots.

Tropical Paradise

My favorite vacation spot is..... THE CARIBBEAN! I love the Caribbean. They have nice relaxing beaches to swim, tan, and to play volleyball on. You can also snorkel in the nice tropical bays. But best of all, it's always sunny. There are also some cool marketplaces where you can shop all you want!

Oh! Orlando!

A great vacation spot is Orlando Florida. With all the theme parks, it is impossible to be bored! The warm weather is also a plus. But, if you're planning to be there in, like, August when the heat is unbearable you need to find a good hotel with a pool. It is also fun to just get out and go for a walk on the beach or along a street. Cocoa Beach is a good place for a walk. It has everything a good beach should have. Waves, water, and hot dogs. Universal Studios is an Orlando hot spot. With all the rides, the movies, and restaurants, you will need a map.

Sea World is another good place. They have shows with walruses, otters, and whales. But the biggest attraction there is, Shamu! A big orca whale who has had a lifetime of training. Another Sea World must see is the baby dolphin pool. It shows all the mother dolphins with their babies. (It looks funny when the babies try to imitate whatever their mothers do.) But, don't take my word for it visit Orlando and see the magic yourself.
