Spring break is almost here!! I’ve started plann

Spring break is almost here!! I’ve started planning my family’s spring break trip to Williamsburg, Virginia.
Planning a family vacation can involve a lot of moving pieces. I often joke that I have to create a Venn Diagram of all of my family's calendars to pinpoint dates for our vacation.
When planning, I pad each trip with at least one additional day on the backend so we can rest once we've returned home. The last thing I need is to feel like I need a vacation after our trip.
Once the dates are blocked off, it's time to put together a travel checklist and itinerary. I use our AAA membership not only to help me plan our trips, but also the great discounts and peace of mine while on the road!
Make sure to add AAA Membership to your spring break checklist. See the link in bio to learn about AAA Membership.

The hotel is located in a building that was completed in 1842. We stayed in the Robert Mills Suite which is named after the architect who not only designed the Monaco Hotel but also the Washington Monument.
