The first week back to school is always hectic. Trying to get back into the routine, packing lunches, checking homework, washing clothes, school supplies, waiting on the bus, etc. It's tough adjustment on the whole family!
Instead of having a boring weekend of just sitting around and dreading the next round of lunches, homework, or waiting on the bus - why not pack up the car and take the family on a quick road trip adventure?
One of the perks of living in the Sunshine State (and especially Jacksonville) is our driving convenience to most Southeast US attractions. Not to mention that we'll stay warm enough well into October to enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches, natural springs and landscapes in the world!
Here are some quick road trip ideas you and your family can take this weekend!
St. Augustine, Florida: Roughly 60 minutes from Jacksonville. Tour the Castillo de San Marcos Fort, experience a haunted ghost tour, dine on some of the most delicious food in the area, become young again at the Fountain of Youth and experience some of the strangest oddities at Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum. http://www.augustine.com/
Orlando, Florida: Roughly 2 and 1/2 hours from Jacksonville. Experience the magic of the Disney theme parks (or even just visit some of the free Disney attractions that are just as fun like Downtown Disney or Disney's Boardwalk), get even more magical at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure/Universal Studios, Seaworld, Holy Land and tons more!
Tallahassee, Florida: Nearly 3 hours. Visit the Sunshine State's capitol and take a tour of some historical buildings, wear your garnet and gold and cheer on the Seminoles, or even pack a lunch a visit some of the most beautiful parks and springs in the state of Florida.
Savannah, Georgia: Roughly 2 and 1/2 Hours. Home to some of the most eclectic sites and scenery, Savannah is home to dozens of haunted homes and hotels, Paula Deen's world famous eats, movie sites and family fun adventures!
Here are some more ideas from First Coast News.
Happy and Safe Traveling!
