Planning a 4 day road trip. This trip is an anu summer tradition for us. Usually it`s a family trip but this year my oldest started his real job and does not have time off yet. My wife is opting out this year to have a girls weekend so it`s me and my 18 year old and no particular direction in mind.
Looking for a driving destination 5-7 hours max from NYC. Plan on driving and stoping along the way staying where we are when we`re ready. It`s going to be more about the journey, and time together than the where we are headed. I do want to find at least one cool destination for the trip plus so stuff along the way.
I`d like some ideas.
My son doesn`t understand why we can drive straight through to Yellowstone look around take a nap and head home ? Or go to Texas get some real BBQ and them head home. I said this is real life not smokey and the Bandit. It`s good to be young.
Planning on staying in hotels / motels / Air BNBs but taking a tent just in case. Taking a very, on road car so any off roading adventures or bad pot hole cities are out.
. I would not mind heading to a driving school. As long as they let my son participate.
Not racing school but driving school teaching the finer points.
My short list of destinations :
Acadia national park by way of Newport RI. And all point I between.
Shenendoa National Park
Just head west for 2 days see what we see turn around and head home.
Niagara Falls
Head to Vermont
May Just drive route 6 out west till it`s time to come back. Just afraid all I`ll do it burn gas with no destination in mind.
Last year you guys gave me a great trip to Boston with stops along the way. So What ideas do you guys have this year?
PS if your along the way perhaps I am impose on stopping by to borrow a hose ? Lol (not really kidding either).
Thanks
Jeff

) that Accumulatorette is from Memphis and has a huge family there, it *is* a slightly safer environment than it used to be. One of those "gotta go there at least once" places IMO.
