AAA

Driving Through America

Where to Go: The east coast offers a wide array of destinations that make for the perfect weekend getaway. If the wilderness is calling you, head northwest into the Poconos and explore the outdoors from biking, rapids, hiking, and skiing down majestic slopes. Prefer water features? Head further north to experience the awe-inspiring Niagara Falls. For those looking for something a little warmer, drive south to Shenandoah National Park to experience some of areas most beautiful foliage. Extend this trip even further and take in even more sightseeing through one of America’s National Parkways, Blue Ridge, while on your way to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Of course, the beach isn’t far aware no matter where you go on the east coast, and Virginia Beach offers a variety of activities that the whole family can enjoy.

Paradise at Sea

Where to Go:  Any destination is a good destination for a cruise, but when it comes to a family vacation, there is one that towers above the rest: the Caribbean. But when choosing a cruise, what matters more than the destination is the ship itself, and cruise lines like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Disney Cruise Line are some of the best for family trips! Water slides, go-karts, mini-golf, and pools are just a few of the many things that you can find aboard a modern cruise line for families to enjoy.  Kids can take advantage of exclusive play areas that are specifically designed for different age groups, ranging from 6-months to 17 years, featuring arcades, hang-out spots, and even a movie theater on some cruise lines. And don’t worry parents, there are always plenty of places adults can enjoy while the little ones enjoy themselves; supervised, of course.
