have car, will travel

I’ve always loved a good road trip and now that our world has become just a little bit smaller, we’ve been looking to some of our favorite (semi) local destinations for refuge. One positive change we’ve noticed to car travel? Less traffic! Some drives that used to take 2.5 hours can now be done in less than two which makes all the difference when it comes to same day travel.

My requirements for a same day travel destination? Good food, interesting shops, and something to do outdoors whether its a long hike to a waterfall, a beautiful beach or vineyard to visit, or a historical destination. Frank and I love Sag Harbor because of its casual Hamptons vibe. There is so much to do in-town and just outside of it that it makes the perfect destination for a day or two. We had originally planned on spending the night there for our wedding anniversary in May but postponed for obvious reasons. When we got the opportunity to go out this month (and my mom agreed to watch the boys for the day) we decided why not! If you’re looking for more info on places to go and stay you can find my unofficial travel guide HERE. A more formal guide coming soon!
