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.
Key West
The historic presidential pad on Key West dubbed the Little White House certainly earned its moniker – after all, it played host to President Harry Truman for 175 days during his tenure in office. Since Truman began migrating south in 1946, millions of sun-and-fun seekers have descended on Key West for its tropical weather, laid-back attitude, and loads of charm. Between your bar-hopping and sun-worshipping, take a tour of the very house where Truman and his go-to guys enacted bills, prepared budgets, and even composed the State of the Union address during their many visits. Other presidents, including JFK and Jimmy Carter, have also roamed the house's halls.
