About Me: NY Day Trip Expert for Families
I’m Amanda Cave Jackson, a full-time working mom of 2 from Upstate NY.
I was working constantly, burning out. Then it hit me: What’s the point if I don’t actually see my kids? Was one week of vacation a year really enough?
Day trips fixed it.
Since 2018, I’ve explored 50+ destinations across the Northeast so you don’t have to sort through Pinterest. And they’re all within 6 hours of Upstate NY.
I test the trips and find the best options for school-aged kids.
You make the memories and create the inside jokes. Before they’re all grown up.
