Hey, hey, dear GrayViners! Can you believe it’s August already?

I felt like July dragged on forever, but here we are—fresh month, fresh start, and still deep in the thick of summer. Which got me thinking… if you could teleport to any cool spot for the day, where would you go?

Me? I think I’d cozy up in a cabin high up in the mountains—especially if I can skip the hiking part. Just the quiet, the crisp air, and maybe a warm drink in hand.

What about you? Tell us your pick in the comments!

IF I could teleport anywhere, like you would in a StarTrek show, I would go to Bali for awhile and then to one of lesser civilized islands in the Bahamas.

Ireland. My grandmother was born there. I always wanted to go there. It looks so relaxing and peaceful. I would love to just stroll about the countryside

Norway! My ancestors came from there and it's the only thing on my Bucket list right now. I would go in a heart beat - especially Northern Norway since it's always cool there, temperature wise!

Germany so I can visit with relatives and explore as much of it as I can since I have never been there.

You can feel the peace just looking at the photos. Great pick, @lindaswilliams55!

The White Mountains

Now, that’s a cool escape—in every sense! Iceland’s otherworldly beauty, waterfalls, the norther lights. I would love to teleport there, too!

The White Mountains

A beautiful choice. Ccool air, quiet trails, and views that remind you to breathe deep and just be.

Ohh, interesting! Warm sun, soft sand, and probably no wifi? It might be nice to get away from all the noise. Sign me up! Haha

I have only seen Ireland from the movies, and I agree, it looks so peaceful! I'd love to take plenty of walks there, too. I hope you get to go and connect to your roots!

I hope that bucket list dream comes true for you, @jtsisk62!

I hope you get to go someday, @Hazeleyes! I think it's a lovely place to explore, too. I love seeing photos and videos of the Christmas market/village!

The Grand Canyon

I haven’t been there, but just imagining standing on the edge of all that history and silence… I think it'd feel surreal.
