Spring break in the United States usually takes place somewhere between the last two weeks of March and the first two weeks of April, some schools even going into Easter week. If you haven’t planned anything, whether because you dropped the ball or decided to stay put, there’s two things to do for last minute spring break plans:

Find the deals and avoid the crowds!

Last minute hotel deals can be found on apps like HotelTonight, Kayak, and even Marriott. Avoid the popular places like Orlando, where the entire United States seems to flock to.

1. Washington DC

Enjoy free admission to the Smithsonian museums, National Zoo, memorials, and monuments and bonus, Cherry blossom season! The annual National Cherry Blossom Festival occurs from late March to mid-April and includes events such as kite-flying workshops, art exhibits, and performances.

2. Yosemite National Park

National parks tend to get crazy crowded in summer, so spring break makes the perfect time to visit!

3. Florida Beaches

Florida has some of the best beaches to visit and the year-round warmer weather makes it a top destination in Spring, when most of the US is still chilly. Visit the Florida Keys, Sarasota county, St.Pete Beach, or Palm Beach.

4. Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Spend a few days eating buttery lobster rolls and go lighthouse hunting, then take a day trip to Nantucket to stroll along the flower lined cobblestone streets. Tops things to do in Cape Cod & Nantucket.

5. Explore your own local gems

Spend zero money on flights and hotels and stay put! Visit the museum, park, and restaurant that you haven’t found time to go to yet.

A Quick Stop in Pisa, Italy

Sometimes, the best memories are the unplanned ones. During our family adventure through Italy, we made a super last-minute decision to swing by Pisa on our way from Cinque Terre to Florence. I’ll be honest, Pisa wasn’t at the top of our Italy itinerary, and we...
