For those times when you need to unplug but can't go far, Adaysouting.com offers suggestions for day and weekend trips up to 120 miles from many U.S. locations.
What's hot: The guide reads like a gentle nudge, with activities you would like to add to your to-do list, not a guilt trip of events you think you must do. There's seemingly something for everyone, whether you like museums and parks, food and wine, or sports and hobbies. I found a beach campground on Lake Michigan while searching for day trips from Chicago. I would not have thought about going caving in the summer if I hadn't seen it as a travel tip, found in the site's right sidebar.
