Amazing family vacation ideas seem almost impossible to come up when you need them most. After spending a number of hours online, browsing over destinations to take the family next, one particular trip poses to be interesting for a family road trip: San Diego, California to Savannah, Georgia.
Planning a road trip is always fun, but with the idea of traveling the southern part of the country from west to east, will immediately get you excited. There's just so many things to see. The variety of the scenery and the natural beauty state after state will make you and your family want to get on that road trip as soon as possible.
The first thing that'll draw your attention as you depart from the San Diego environment will be the saguaro (pronounced as sah-wah-roh) cacti that is scattered across the Southwest deserts. These magnificent cacti, the state flower of Arizona, spread through the Sonoran Desert (extreme southeastern California), southern Arizona and northwestern Mexico.
The vast plains of New Mexico and Texas offer a different views and landscapes. Through this part of the trip, you'll find only two things: oil pumping units and cattle graze.
Push through eastward some more, en-route the Mississippi Delta, the foot of the Appalachian mountains, and you'll find the little grand city in Georgia, Savannah, which is the first planned city in the United States.
What you'll find most amusing in this road trip is how the cultural diversity is manifested: the food! Along the way, in every stop you take, you'll find not only ethnic diversity among the people and their customs, but a wide variety of dishes from authentic American cuisine, barbecue, Texan style, and Mexican. Louisiana takes you away from all the red meat as you'll find yourself downing catfish and shrimp. Equally interesting is how music takes a huge part in defining your road trip. Jazz, rock and roll, and Delta blues blasting off your stereo from point A to point B would keep you entertained all through the trip.
It is also worth noting how much these places take part in the literary world. Imagine actually having to walk around the actual scenes of the Ballad of the Sad Cafe by Carson McCullers, having to be even just in the vicinity of Bonnie and Clyde's death site, or having to see the Dallas intersection where Former American President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
This road trip is just one laid-back and affordable family vacation.
