Thanks to summer weather and plenty of sunshine, July produced some magnificent Vacation You scenes from all around Massachusetts.

For those who haven’t yet had the chance to explore it, Vacation You is our guide to summer and everything great about it in Massachusetts. On the Vacation You website, you can flip through a boatload of vacation ideas, ranging from artsy to sandy and everywhere in between.
While vacation ideas are always good, winning a vacation is even better. And the best thing about Vacation You is that it can make that happen, too! Every month, we’re selecting at random one Instagram user who has tagged a photo with #vacationyou and giving that lucky someone a Massachusetts getaway.
During the past couple of months, there have been more than 2,300 picturesque Instagram photos tagged with #vacationyou, including some particularly dazzling scenes during July.
First off, we’d like to say thank you to everyone who has entered the sweepstakes, and especially to those who have been generous enough to let us share their images. Now, here are 10 of our favorites from the past month.
