Fall has officially made its arrival and what better time to take a road trip than now? Whether it’s a weekend getaway with some friends or a fun-filled family trip with the kiddos, these places offer a little something for everyone. So pack your bags, jump in your Chevy Equinox and hit the road!
St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis, Missouri is well worth the five hour drive and the perfect place to take the kids for a fun-filled weekend! The St. Louis Zoo is one of the top zoos in the country and completely free to enter. Other free attractions include The Science Center, The St. Louis Art Museum and even Anheuser Busch Brewery Tours. Though not free, The Magic House and City Museum (a giant jungle gym that adults love too) are also highly recommended. Visit The Hill for some dinner and don’t forget to check out the Arch while you’re there!
Oxford, Mississippi
Just a 90 minute drive from Memphis, this quaint university town offers unique shops, a great restaurant scene and lots of historic landmarks. Be sure to check out Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner’s home- Rowan Oak and get in the action at an Ole Miss Football game! Stroll around the Oxford Square in the evening- lit up by store fronts and surrounded by the sounds of blues or jazz. Planning on staying the night? This town has plenty of hotels and bed & breakfasts to check out!
Village Creek State Park
Village Creek State Park is located in Arkansas and the state’s second largest state park in land area. With five trails and two lakes, this is one of our favorite places to set up camp and check out the fall foliage all weekend long. Horseback riding and golfing are two other popular activities at this park… there’s no time to get bored!
Nashville, Tennessee
About a three hour drive, this city rings true to its nickname- “Music City”. In Nashville, you will learn about the history of country music and have the opportunity to visit all of the different places associated with it- like the Ryman Auditorium, Grand Ole Opry, and Bluebird Cafe. Music Row, a popular street in Downtown Nashville, is filled with music clubs and “honky-tonk” bars where live performances are almost constantly taking place.
