So me, my brother, and my fiance have decided to go on a road trip. Leaving this Sunday and coming home on Thursday. We live in New Jersey. We don't know exactly where we want to go, so we need ideas.
We don't want our final destination to be more than 9 hours away tops. We want to cease at places along the way.. We were thinking about Maine as the final destination, but we aren't sure where in Maine.
We like art, history, learning about different cultures, going to museums, etc. We’re college aged, so keep it youthful, lol.
Thanks all!
Answer:
It's too winter to go upstate New York, Maine would be a bit of a haul from New Jersey if you plan on stopping along the way often, I'd just try the Boston Post Road along the CT shoreline up through Rhode Island and play it by ear. Recommended stops include Old Saybrook, Mystic (It's nice before tourist season hits) Nantucket, Watch Hill/Misquamicutt, The Cape and Martha's Vineyard. Some of my friends advocate that P-town is a nice and interesting stop, if you’re not offended by Gay people.
Answer:
maine sounds like a great idea, Augusta, Bangore, and/or Bar Harbor are fun I've heard!
If you want to head in a different direction, might I advocate Washington, DC? There's a ton to do/see there
You could also drive to Grand Rapids, MI I hear there's a lot going on there this time of year
If none of these are doing it for you, I would advocate a trip someplace warm, Florida, NC?
