Nine hours before my flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) was due to depart, I got an email from the airline that my flight was delayed. I was annoyed since the weather was clear both in Seattle and at my destination but didn’t really think too much about it—until I checked the news and saw that the airport was under a cyberattack.
A family who roadtrips 4,000 miles a year shares the best hidden-gem destinations in the US
27.08.2024 - 16:36 / insider.com
International destinations can be awe-inspiring — but road trips around the states can feel just as unique, from New England to the coast of Alaska.
That's according to Florida-based road trip expert Rob Taylor, who has traveled to 48 states. Over the last 13 years, he and his husband, Chris, have driven their two kids to 30 states.
"The US is so large, and you can get such variation in experiences, activities, landscapes, cuisine, and culture from one corner of the country to another," he told Business Insider. "We're making our way. Eventually, we will hit all of them."
Regarding family road trips, Taylor seeks out lesser-known destinations where the kids can learn something new.
"So much of our travel specifically focuses on education and making sure that we're not just going to theme parks," he said. "We're actually out there doing programs with the rangers and educators."
Typically, Taylor takes the kids out of school three to four times a year for up to two weeks at a time. He added that the educational factor makes teachers more supportive of their travels during the school year.
"That's why we feel OK pulling them out of school as much as we do," Taylor said. "We've never had a complaint that we've missed too much school."
Taylor shared with BI his favorite hidden-gem road trip stops around the US for families — and some are in popular states you wouldn't expect.
