Where is you favorite Spring Break vacation spot?

Check out some of the LoneStar Team's favorite Spring Break destinations:


Matt - For me, I'd love to go hiking or camping in the mountains somewhere, idk where exactly, probably Colorado.

Benito - Have never had a Spring break vacation that I can remember, but if I ever have one it would be in Rockport, Texas. I go fishing there whenever I can. Once every three years or so.

Lana - If I could go on Spring Break Vacation, I would go to Myrtle Beach In South Carolina! I have always wanted to go there since I was a teen!

Tasha - I don't often take vacations and I haven't had a Spring Break vacation since I was in High School. Therefore, I don't have favorite vacation spots.

Lindsay - I don't really have a favorite Spring Break vacation spot since I've never really gone anywhere during Spring Break, but I've always wanted to go to Cancun.
