Now that school’s are starting to get out for the summer, it’s time for family vacation, and what better trip to take everyone on then a drive across the United States to see our beautiful nation. You never know what you could find on historical Route 66 or heading through the prairies of the midlands on one of the many interstate highways. But just remember to always make sure that your Connecticut auto insurance has you covered in case you hit a buffalo out in Utah or a wild animal in West Virginia!
So what might you find while leaving the northeast and heading in any direction, whether north, south or west? Well here’s some great hidden destinations that would be great to stop at while making your way across the country.

This is a place that when the sun goes down in the desert, it’ll get cold, but it’s totally worth it seeing the thousands of stars that light up the sky. They illuminate the the land so much that it’s almost like a second daylight.
