Americans do love to travel, that's a known fact. One of the most important weekend for travel in the United States is the 4th of July weekend.

For travel ideas, here are the classic American vacation:

1. Taking a road trip

One good thing about the U.S is it's wide and spacious highways so that inter-state road trips are really fun to do. Like we see in the movies, American families do have great fun going on road trips. The getting there is even more exciting than the destination itself.

2. Hiking to the mountains

Going to the great outdoor is something that is well-loved the world over. With the many National Parks in the U.S., hiking and camping trips with the family is a favorite past-time that Americans do especially during the summer season. There's no better way that no inhale the pine-scented air in the mountains. You will never run out of activities to do: camping hiking, white water rafting, horseback riding, etc.

3. Heading to the beach

Who doesn't love the beach, right? Almost everyone does. Beaches in New York, Florida, California, Hawaii and North Carolina are just some of the favorite beach destinations in the United States.

4. Relaxing on a lake

If the beach isn't your kind of thing, maybe you'll find a lake more relaxing. In Missouri, Lake of the Ozarks is a family favorite. Here you can go boating, swimming, fishing, do various watersports and other kid-friendly activities.

5. Visiting a National Park

The United States has 392 national parks. With any of one of these, there are many historical and natural wonders to discover. It's perfect for a family adventure.

CHOQUEQUIRAO

Choquequirao means "cradle of gold" in Quechua although this is probably not its original Inca name. It is another "lost city of the Incas"

Mexico City has a long illustrious past that stretches all the way back to the time when the city was known as Tenochtitlan and was the center of the Aztec Empire. In the 18th century, Mexico City was called the City of Palaces, by Humboldt, a name which still fits today because of all the Aztec ruins, the great temple, buildings from colonial times and modern towering skyscrapers. All of these different aspects combine to make Mexico City one of the most unique places to visit or live in the world.

Really an informative post. For several years i was trying to make a trip to America but confused about its travel attractions. This post has helped me a lot to plan out my trip.

I'm currently down in the Orlando-area of Florida, so I'm a little land-locked, but there is an abundance of lakes around! Thing about lakes is, where there are lakes, there are alligators! I'm not a big reptile fan:) But Orlando is also a "classic American vacation" with Disney World right here.

Classic vacation to me is not waiting on ride lines with Mickey ears (although those hats ARE adorable!). To me, classic vacation is sitting on a perfect beach somewhere.

If you're thinking is like mine, here are some beach vacation stops you can check out (the photos make a trip so much more tempting!)-
