Sunrise, Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii

Memorial Day weekend is, for many of us, about two things: Eating way, way too much (not a helpful way to begin bathing suit season), and getting the first suntan of the year. Those luxurious three days in the sun reminded us of how glorious lazy summer days can be, and got us dreaming about where we’d like to spend them. (Note to self: Ask boss for vacation days pronto.) So to kick off the (mercifully) short week, we thought we’d share our inspiration: We’ve compiled what have to be hands-down the prettiest photos on zzdtravel to help get you dreaming about your summer escape.
