National Plan for Vacation Day: Long Weekend Getaways
Even if you only have a long weekend to spare, take it! There’s still so much you can explore without venturing too far from home. Starting with #ZapClient Montreal, an urban oasis rich with culture, incredible cuisine and breathtaking sights. Or you could head west and enjoy a stay at The Kinney SLO, complete with sunny hangs by the pool and fun enjoying all that San Luis Obispo has to offer. Option No. 3: Head to Hotel Zachary! Located right across from Chicago’s historic Wrigley Field, this boutique hotel does not disappoint, especially during the summer months when this beautiful city is in its prime.
