Early Spring is a perfect time for a Cape Cod getaway as the crowds have yet to arrive and in April you can enjoy the daffodils in bloom. For a road trip, late September to the end of October is a great time as you can take long, scenic rides to see the spectacular colors of the fall foliage. Winter is ideal to head south along the Eastern Seaboard, whether chasing the sun down in Florida or cozying up in the quaint towns of Virginia. Summer offers fun just about anywhere on the East Coast with plenty of free, outdoor festivals in the big cities and the weather is just right for swimming in the Atlantic Ocean.
