Weekend Getaways
Weekend getaways have a specific math problem. Friday-evening drive plus Sunday-evening drive eats six hours of a 48-hour window. The trips here are designed around that constraint. Destinations within four hours. Routes that aren't gridlocked Friday at 5:30. Lodging you can actually book the week-of. Stuff to do on Saturday that doesn't require an early-Saturday start. None of these are bucket-list trips. They're the trips you take six times a year because they work, the kids ask to go back, and you have a different work week ahead.
