Granted, US presidents didn't vacation at Mount Rushmore. But if our list has you hankering to see some famous faces, plan a getaway to this iconic landmark instead.
Jamaica
Winning the general election certainly calls for celebration, and that's exactly what Gerald B. Ford and wife Betty did after his team's 1972 win. The locale of choice? Montego Bay, Jamaica, where the well-documented vacation of the soon-to-be 38th President and his wife produced photographs of them lounging on beach chairs, deep-sea fishing, and napping on their chartered boat. Today, you can enjoy these same activities in Montego Bay – and then some. This slice of Jamaican paradise is known for its uber-luxe resorts, ever-present Reggae beats, laid-back vibe, and spectacular natural surroundings. If you're looking to make it a romantic retreat, make like Ford and take along your favorite first lady.
