COURTESY GINNANE FAMILY
MASSACHUSETTS Brian and Nicole Ginnane of Gahanna visit Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts. The couple says The Dispatch travel page inspired them to find Author’s Ridge, where the literary greats of Thoreau, Emerson, Alcott and Hawthorne are buried. The cemetery was larger than expected and they had the place to themselves for the hour they visited. The couple recommends that visitors spend the rest of the day at Walden Pond only a few miles away. That was a tremendous experience that included a visitor center, documentary and breathtaking 2-mile hike around the pond.
COURTESY THE PATTON FAMILY
ECUADOR Laurie and Jamie Patton of Columbus take in the sights at San Cristobal Island in the Galapagos Islands. The couple says the snorkeling is fabulous, the water amazingly clear but colder than you may expect, so take or rent a wet suit.
