Spring is near and it’s time to start planning your next road trip. Take a look at these great destinations in the Mid-Atlantic states, and maybe something will spark your travel bug.
I live in the Mid-Atlantic and we have so many great places to explore. The best part is many are within driving distance of one another. Many of these destinations offer a great weekend getaway, just enough time for a little rest and rejuvenation without hurting the wallet. The Mid-Atlantic also offers unique roadside attractions that will entertain drivers along the highways and byways.

Dinosaur Land, just outside of Winchester, has been a favorite family road trip stop for over 50 years. But don’t forget the numerous orchards and family-owned farm stands, such as Marker-Miller Orchard, Richard’s Fruit Market, and Virginia Farm Market, which have lured travelers off the highway for generations.
