It’s never too early to begin planning a family summer vacation. While many families will make plans to visit an exotic locale, why not hop in the car and explore the scenery and sites near you?

Road trips are a staple of summer for many families. The information I’m sending this month highlights ten of the best road trips in the United States and Canada, including Route 66, U.S. Route 1 and the Trans-Canada Highway. Whether you choose to travel the entire route or a small portion of it, these road trips offer the best of local culture, history and ecology. Create the memories that will last a lifetime. Feel free to share this great information with your family or friends.
