Sometimes adventure is right in your backyard, or just a few hours away. Want to get away? Take A DayTrip.
We are very lucky to live just a few hours from one of the most beautiful places in the world, Niagara Falls. You now need a passport to get in to Canada, but since we got them last year for our cruise we have taken a few trips across the border.
There's so much fun in a daytrip, including the spontaneity of it all. When you have beautiful sights within a few hours of travel, it's easy to hop in the car and go. All you need is a few hours of freedom, a full tank of gas, and a camera to make some memories.
This past summer when we went as a family we enjoyed walking around, seeing the Falls, riding a huge ferris wheel, shopping and eating a fun meal together.
There is so much to do and see, yes...eat while out on a day trip. Other favorite day trip locations we enjoy are: Pittsburgh, Cleveland and sometimes Buffalo.
Day trips make excellent family fun excursions, and great date days. They have all the excitement of a vacation without the luggage, hotel reservations, and detailed plans.
Let yourself go...explore, indulge, seek adventure!!
What places are close to your home? Where are your favorite day trip destinations?
hi jealous, party of one here, I want to see the falls! I don't think I'd trade living in a warm place to be close to it, but day trips down here call for a lot of imagination..
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I agree day trips are the best--low stress!
ReplyDeleteWe are all about day trips in the summer - living in New England there are so many great little towns right near us!! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteYes we love doing this! We try to set aside one Saturday or Sunday a month to take a day trip together! Some of the places we have gone are St. Augustine, St. Simon's Island, Daytona Beach, and Fernandina Beach!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Such beautiful photos! We love day trips!
ReplyDeleteFun! I've been to the falls once but on the canadian side!
ReplyDeleteI love day trips! When I lived in Rochester I'd go up to Niagara Falls and Toronto every so often. Another favorite was the Finger Lakes!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I wish I lived near Canada. It would be a two day trip just to get there. I do love taking trips around Texas and visiting small little quaint towns.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was closer to places that you could consider a day trip. My state is fairly spacious and the center is right around where I live. Anything that may be of value to visit is at least 4+ hours away. But that just means more road trips and I love those! I really want to see Niagra Falls! That's neat that you live near it.
ReplyDeleteThe falls look beautiful! I went many many years ago when I was a teenager but I would love to return to do some adult touring. That's very cool is a short drive for you. Me...not so much!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a lot of fun. It would be quite the trip for you ;) If you do ever make it again, we must meet!
ReplyDeleteRoadtrips are always great, you're right Kati! It's a beautiful sight and so fun, you should definitely make the trip some time!
ReplyDeleteTexas is one place that's on my list to go, little cool towns are always great!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a few friends in Rochester and it's nice to stop there too. I need to check out Finger Lakes Annessa, thanks for the reminder :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes, we go to both sides, I like all the action on the Canadian side :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Cassie, day trips are a great escape for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome...those all sound like great spots. I love a good day trip, they are excellent for the mind and soul!
ReplyDeleteOh yes there are, that's so awesome! Winter traveling is not so fun for us huh?! HAHA, have a great week Biana!
ReplyDeleteYES, low stress is KEY! You're so right Brittany :) Thanks for reading!
ReplyDeletehaha...come on and visit ;) I don't blame you on that trade either...I love the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Niagra falls since I was small. I definitely want to take a trip up there soon, we aren't far away either from NJ!
ReplyDeleteI love day trips too. I'm actually taking a couple of days off next week and that is definitely the plan. For us, it's mostly beaches and natural springs since we're in Florida. Can't beat that!
ReplyDeleteI love it there, it really is beautiful! You should definitely revisit soon Kenya :)
ReplyDeleteThey are the BEST! OOOh, I want to go to a beach! That all sounds amazing Diana!
