Lawrence to Miami: Road trip down the Atlantic Coast

After the hustle and bustle of NYC, head over to New Brunswick, NJ's serene and lush Bamboo Forest, which is open year round. The bamboo grow to be in excess of 30ft in height, and the walk through the garden is the perfect way to relax after driving, or to just stretch your legs.

For a more sophisticated, but very quirky stop, there's the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, which showcases medical oddities, using actual specimens and wax models.

Next up, is Myrtle Beach, a classic East Coast holiday town. The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is a little over a mile long and a fun stop to make while exploring beautiful Myrtle Beach.

For a quieter stop, there's Savannah, Georgia, just down the road. This gorgeous historic town features an absolutely breathtaking public park, Forsyth Park, loads of restaurants and cute places to spend the night, a town further south with a similar feel is St. Augustine, the oldest town in America, and one of the most charming places in the country.

Next up is Miami! In Miami's South Beach Art Deco District you'll find the world's largest concentration of 1920s and 1930s historic architecture. It's an absolute pleasure to just walk around and gawk at the gorgeous buildings, which have been loving restored and preserved. Plus, the beach is just across the street, and there's tons of places to eat along this stretch. Be prepared if you're driving that it's very busy in this area and you'll mostly be driving 10-20 mph through, which is cool if you're traveling with someone who can take photos of everything, since you're driving slow enough through.
