A Simple Road Trip
There’s no need for planes or fancy cruises to have a successful Spring Break Trip. Not only can road tripping be a more economical choice, but it can allow you to discover some amazing sights, not only at your destination but during the journey along the way. You can take a road trip to a city just a few hours from your house or even drive all the way across the country!
Venture up to the Mountains
While most of your friends are getting sun burnt down on sandy beaches, take your break up into the mountains. With airbnb’s these days it’s so much easier to find affordable cottages to stay at even if it’s just for a long weekend.
Many times you can find cabins in the mountains that offer breathtaking sceneries. The mountains are also a great place to explore outdoors from hiking to zip-lining. Everyone will be jealous when they see the pictures you took right from your cabin window.
Visit Museums
Take this time while you don’t have to be studying for all those classes to learn something new. There are so many museums in the U.S. that cover everything from sports history like the National Baseball Hall of Fame to American history at the Smithsonian. Visiting museums is also something you can easily incorporate into a road trip!
Spend the Day at a National Park
If you want the adventurous break filled with outdoorsy activities, but don’t want to take a long vacation you can simply find your national park. The entry fees are usually pretty low and with 59 national parks in the U.S., there’s sure to be one near you! A few great national parks to check out are:
