Memorial Day weekend road trip from Washington DC: Philadelphia, Six Flags & Rehoboth Beach
Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer in the United States, and for many Americans, it’s the perfect excuse to hit the road and enjoy a long weekend getaway. Taking advantage of this holiday, I planned a Memorial Day weekend road trip from Washington DC with a few friends that turned out to be the perfect mix of history, thrills, and beach time. Over the course of three days, we explored Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), spent an adrenaline-filled day at Six Flags Great Adventure (New Jersey) and wrapped up the long weekend relaxing by the ocean in Rehoboth Beach (Delaware). If you're looking for Memorial Day weekend trips that combine iconic landmarks, fun attractions, and coastal charm, this itinerary might be exactly what you need.
