The great thing about a road trip is that it's a lot easier and cheaper to put together than a trip that involves getting on a plane with kids. According to the AAA, 100-million Americans plan to take a family vacation this year and 53% of U.S. families are planning to make it a road trip. Overall, families in the South are the most likely to be planning a vacation in 2019 (62%).
What are the hot road trip destinations for this summer? One of them is just two hours from Charlotte. Here are AAA's top five:
- Black Hills, South Dakota
- Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina
- Las Vegas to National Parks
- Northern California and Southern Oregon Coast
- Northern New England
