One Tank trips are a great opportunity to get away for a day or two without breaking the bank and without the hassles of air travel. Getting in your car and hitting the open road is a freeing feeling. I do it often and I can't stress how good travel can feel.

But where to go? It really all depends on you and what you like doesn't it? Or maybe it is about getting out of your comfort zone and seeing something different. Either way, I hope I can contribute some ideas to help you get up and get out there.

I had the pleasure of going to Beverly Massachusetts this past weekend on an absolutely gorgeous New England Day. What I found was not just an incredible venue to see a concert, but a town full of some of the oldest recorded history in the country.
