We did our first college visit trip to the Mid-Atlantic region over our spring break. What made it so flexible was that we drove. Yes – it was long, but we covered a lot of ground. Below is our itinerary with links to the places we visited. For details about visiting New York – see my post https://findingfamilyadventures.com/2016/03/27/trip-report-new-york-city/. This will give you links to more posts I wrote about NYC in 2016.
Unlike most of my trip itinerary posts, the links below will take you directly to the websites of the attractions listed, not my review of them.
