We took so many family road trips when I was younger and I have such fond memories from them. I hope one day in the future to be able to do the same with my family. We learned so much, saw amazing views, visited historical sites and most importantly made great memories. If heading to a warmer climate, a road trip in winter is a good option but there are some places you can only go during the warmer months as they're closed and not accessible. Here's a list of amazing road trips you can only take in the summertime from Cheapism posted at msn.com.
