Get your Pinterest ready: In no particular order, here are the best destinations to celebrate these 13 big life milestones.<\/p>\n

1. Getting Married \u2013 Napa Valley, CA<\/h2>\n

\"Vineyards<\/p>\n

Tying the knot is kind of a huge deal. We say you whisk your loved ones away to Napa Valley<\/a> for the big day, where scenic vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see. You just can\u2019t find a better backdrop. Plus, weddings are the perfect pairing for a crisp pino grigio (or merlot, or Chardonnay, or\u2026any other variety, really). Spend the day before your nuptials on a wine tour<\/a> or exploring the Muir Woods and dine on the famous Wine Train\u2014your guests can make a long weekend of the trip and retreat to winery tasting bliss once the wedding is over.<\/p>\n

2. Honeymoon \u2013 Amelia Island, FL<\/h2>\n

\"Honeymoon<\/p>\n

Sometimes planning the honeymoon is more fun than planning the wedding. A week or so of blissful, worry-free travel is just what the doctor ordered after months of planning your big event. Head to Amelia Island, FL<\/a> if you seek a slice of paradise closer to home than Fiji.<\/p>\n

Walk beneath the Spanish moss that adorns local oak trees and go horseback riding along the ocean from Peters Point Beachfront Park. Stay at the Hoyt House Inn where you can have the full English Tea Experience, or shack up at the Villas of Amelia Island and spend your evenings around a bonfire on the beach. Reserve a table at David\u2019s Restaurant and Lounge, where a romantic date is on the menu. Be sure to unwind with some couples\u2019 yoga on the beach with Go Yoga while you\u2019re here.<\/p>\n

3. Babymoon \u2013 Hilton Head Island, SC<\/h2>\n

\"White<\/p>\n

When you have a bun in the oven, it\u2019s important to savor your last few months of sound sleep. Take off on a babymoon\u2014that last trip before your little one arrives\u2014to celebrate this special time in your life. Hilton Head Island<\/a> in South Carolina makes for one relaxing backdrop.<\/p>\n

Put your toes in the sand, grab some healthy snacks at the Bluffton Farmers\u2019 Market, and get your fill of probiotics at the Juice Hive during your stay. The Sea Pines Forest Preserve provides a peaceful place to have a picnic and observe wildlife. If your swollen feet need some relief, head to Birkenstock Barefootin\u2019 and stock up on supportive sandals. And, hey, you may as well pick up some gear for baby at the too-cute Moonlit Lullaby boutique.<\/p>\n

4. 21st Birthday \u2013 Las Vegas, NV<\/h2>\n

\"Trip<\/p>\n

You\u2019re turning 21! It\u2019s hard to imagine a better place to celebrate than Sin City itself. Order your first poolside drink at a day club<\/a> in Las Vegas and have a night you\u2019ll never forget (or remember in the first place?) on a VIP club crawl<\/a> along The Strip.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re willing to investigate what\u2019s happing off-Strip, Nacho Daddy awaits with \u201cbest margaritas in Las Vegas\u201d and something called the scorpion shot (real scorpion included). For less flashy fun, head to Vegas\u2019 best dive bar, the Dispensary Lounge. You can also dance on the wooden benches of the Hofbrauhaus, stein in hand, and walk into any of the neon-clad bars along Freemont East in downtown Vegas. The next morning, detox with a Nutella latte and \u201cAliens Left a Burrito in the Middle East\u201d at Sunrise Coffee.<\/p>\n

5. Retirement \u2013 Albuquerque, NM<\/h2>\n

\"Hot<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve clocked your last day at your desk, and enjoyed a going away party at the office. Now it\u2019s time to celebrate your entry into post-work life with a trip. Pack up and turn your compass toward the American Southwest\u2014Albuquerque<\/a> awaits!<\/p>\n

Wide open spaces and burnt orange mountains serve as the backdrop to your relaxing getaway, and attractions like the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Indian Pueblo Cultural Center<\/a> make it easy to fill your time. Sail over the landscape in a hot air balloon ride<\/a> and see the Sandia Mountains from a whole new angle. Once you\u2019re back on solid ground, we recommend spending your evening at the Casa Rondena Winery or the Foul Play Cafe for some mystery dinner theatre.<\/p>\n

6. First Vacation with the Kids \u2013 Wisconsin Dells, WI<\/h2>\n

\"Vacation<\/p>\n

Your kids are finally old enough to appreciate a proper vacation? Jump on a plane or road trip to Wisconsin Dells<\/a>, otherwise known as the Waterpark Capital of the World. With everything from epic waterslides to charming downtown restaurants to keep you busy, the entire gang will have the time of their lives.<\/p>\n

The Kalahari Indoor Theme Park, Knuckleheads Trampoline Park, KidsQuest, and Mount Olympus Waterpark are just a few places to get your kicks.

The second your cap hits the ground at graduation, your mind is already in South Padre Island, Texas<\/a>. Now your body just has to catch up. Catch a flight to this barrier island near the U.S.\/Mexico border, and pull up a chair at Clayton\u2019s Beach Bar, the biggest of its kind in the entire state. Celebrate with your toes in the sand and a drink in one hand, and stick around for the live music once the sun retires for the day.<\/p>\n

The next morning, you\u2019re ready for sandcastle lessons or play a round of mini-golf at Gravity Park before you go horseback riding at The Stables. And, hey, adult responsibilities await, you may as well give kiteboarding or flyboarding with SPI Kiteboarding a try while you\u2019re still carefree.<\/p>\n

8. 30th Birthday \u2013 Palm Springs, CA<\/h2>\n

\"Palm<\/p>\n

Photo via Yelp\/Kayla G<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

If Vegas was built for 21st<\/sup> birthdays, Palm Springs<\/a> was designed for the foray into your 30s. Spend your day sunning yourself at the Ace Hotel pool, then treat yourself to a massage at Studio M Salon and Spa before you grab a handcrafted drink at Bootlegger Tiki. If you don\u2019t want to drive, just BUZZ about town on a trolley by the same name. When the sun starts to set on your day in the desert, head out on a 4-wheel adventure to go stargazing\u00a0along the San Andreas Fault<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. First PTO Vacation \u2013 Clearwater Beach, FL<\/h2>\n

\"Celebrate<\/p>\n

Your first full-time gig comes with lots of perks, including paid time off. Accruing enough hours for a proper getaway is a big milestone\u2014it\u2019s almost like an adult spring break! Instead of jetting off to a crowded Mexican beach, claim a patch of sand on Clearwater Beach<\/a> down in Florida. You can enjoy the turquoise water on a dolphin watching tour<\/a> or celebrate with a drink in hand on tropical party cruise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you return to your landlubbing ways, the Cleveland Street District offers the allure of dining, drinking, and the Capitol Theatre. Don\u2019t forget to stop by the Sunsets at Pier 60 during your stay, which operates 365 days a year and offers plenty of fun to accompany the stunning displays in the sky.<\/p>\n

10. Finishing Higher Education \u2013 Bend, OR<\/h2>\n

\"Trees<\/p>\n

Passing the bar exam or finally getting the stamp of approval on your PhD dissertation is a call to celebrate, we say. After all those nights in the library, what about some fresh air? Make your way to the Pacific Northwest for a woody retreat in Bend, Oregon<\/a>. On top of killer mountain views and a river close at hand, this cozy destination has a dose of modernity, too. And then there\u2019s the beer.<\/p>\n

Embark on a trip down the Bend Ale Trail (the largest of its kind in the world), and make sure to stop at the Deschutes Brewery. If whiskey is your poison, the Stihl Whiskey Bar is the place to be. Fill out your trip with a shopping expedition in the Old Mill District<\/a> and by \u201cfloating the river\u201d atop your paddleboard or kayak.<\/p>\n

11. Paying Off a Major Debt \u2013 Newport Beach, CA<\/h2>\n

\"Celebrate<\/p>\n

Congrats! You sent in that last mortgage or student loan payment. With your newfound financial freedom, you can afford to splurge on a trip to Newport Beach, California<\/a>. Head to Fashion Island Mall and get yourself a personal shopper to help you pick out new duds, then show them off at nearby Fig & Olive restaurant while you munch on brunch and sip champagne. From there, your afternoon could be filled with anything from whale watching<\/a> to Classic Yacht Excursions to a tasting at the Newport Beach Vineyards & Winery.<\/p>\n

12. Finalizing Your Divorce \u2013 Sedona, AZ<\/h2>\n

\"Welcome<\/p>\n

The end of a marriage may not sound like a joyful milestone, but we say it\u2019s an opportunity to look to the horizon with hope and optimism. And that certainly calls for a vacation. Sedona, Arizona<\/a> is known for its healing arts and therapeutic qualities, and so makes an ideal destination for your post-divorce getaway.<\/p>\n

Walk across the red landscape at Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park, where you\u2019re free to meditate in its 14 unfettered acres beneath Thunder Mountain. Hop into a Pink Jeep Tour<\/a>, and soon you\u2019ll be sailing over the landscape with your worries in the rearview. You can also relax with a vineyard massage at Page Spring Cellars or challenge yourself to overcome a new feat by going on a Verde Adventure down the river or taking a Wildland Trekking tour. At the end of the day, restaurants like Wildflower Bread Company and Cucina Rustica are waiting to feed your soul\u2026and your stomach.<\/p>\n

13. Empty Nesting \u2013 Jekyll Island, GA<\/h2>\n

\"Driftwood<\/p>\n

Photo via Yelp\/Alex P. <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The kids are out of the house! With no more school schedules to coordinate and soccer practices to attend, you\u2019re free to explore the world on your own terms and timetable. Celebrate on the quiet hideaway of Jekyll Island, Georgia<\/a>. History tours on the local trolley will immediately endear you to this southern destination, while the Jekyll Island Golf Club is the perfect place to unwind on the greens. You will have to navigate around the local osprey, but that\u2019s just a part of the charm.<\/p>\n

Have lunch at the scenic harbor and marina, and then head to Three Oaks Farm to ride in the horse and buggy. If you have extra time to spare, explore all the surrounding Golden Isles. Finally, since you\u2019re exploring a seaside place, it\u2019s only right that you stop at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center to see some shelled friends up close. The sunrise walks shouldn\u2019t be missed.<\/p>\n
