If you’re anything like me, by the time March rolls around, you’re more than ready to shake off winter. I’ve found that this in-between month is actually a perfect time to travel—and these March vacation ideas are packed with sunshine, celebrations, and just the right amount of adventure.
Highlights:
- I love soaking up spring blooms in places like Washington, D.C. and Savannah—you’ll be amazed by the colors and the scent of fresh flowers in the air.
- If you’re still holding onto winter vibes, you can hit the slopes for late-season skiing. I’ve had some amazing runs in Colorado and Utah this time of year.
- Prefer warm sand over snow? I don’t blame you—I’ve relaxed on beaches in Florida, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii in March, and the weather is always just right.
- One of my favorite traditions is catching a St. Patrick’s Day parade in either Chicago or Boston. You’ll love the festive atmosphere, especially if you’re into food, music, and a little bit of green.
- And if you’re up for something a little different, I recommend exploring the desert trails in Arizona and California. The wildflowers bloom this time of year, and the landscapes are unforgettable.
