My trip itineraries are jam packed but they are doable! I try to make the most out of each day. Sometimes we take our 2 out of the 4 children, sometimes all 4, and on rare occasions, it’s just the two of us. There are many great spots to visit around the Mid-Atlantic region, all within an easy drive. I hope you find some helpful things for your next adventure.
