9) Georgia
Well over 3 million people had “Georgia on their mind” in 2017. From the charm of Savannah to the excitement of Atlanta, there’s plenty to keep your itinerary full in the “Peach State.” There’s much more than peaches here. The romantic Spanish Moss draping from the tree line is worthy of a day trip to tour historic Savannah. Then head to Atlanta where you can visit the world’s largest sea aquarium. The Georgia Aquarium is home to more than 100,000 aquatic animals living in over 10 million gallons of fresh and saltwater environments. You’ll also be treated to the 6.3-million-gallon Ocean Voyager. The 100-foot long acrylic tank allows visitors to walk through swimming sharks, Manta rays and other amazing undersea creatures. History buffs will revere the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical site, and the Center of Civil and Human Rights, where the Human Rights movement comes to interactive life.
