Road Trip Destinations

Lugging three kids in car seats on road trips through the United States may sound difficult. Add the fact that our kids have motion sickness and you may think it is a special kind of hell. The reward, however, far outweighs the challenge of getting there.  Our destinations guide to road trip destinations with kids in the USA highlights the light at the end of the tunnel.

Whether it’s camping on a farm, kicking back on the beach, being in awe of the big city, enjoying our national parks, or focusing on history, travel with kids offers unparalleled educational experience.

Our road trip destinations with kids in the USA focus on culture and nature so we tend to avoid major tourist resorts and Disneyesque adventures.  Instead our goal is to provide immersive educational experiences.

Culture

We want to help the kids recognize that there is rich and diverse culture in the United States.  Sometimes there is as much of a cultural gap between our home “town” of New York City and Huntington, West Virginia as there is between NYC and a place like Abu Dhabi.

Nature

Mother nature has so much to offer, and is an excellent retreat from the energy of the big city.  There is also so much to learn from the vast ecological diversity that can be attained on a short drive from home.

Rockaway is the best baby and toddler friendly beach in New York City

By

New York City in the summertime is hot.  Between the humidity and the heat, it can get downright oppressive. Mingled into most plans for a week in NYC is a trip to Coney Island, which is totally worth it, but the beach there can be a bit suffocating with the crowd.  An alternative to Coney Island is Rockaway in Queens. Rockaway is a local favorite, and in my opinion the best baby and toddler friendly beach in NYC. Brittany and I bring our family to Rockaway at least two or three times every summer.
