Every spring, Texas fills up with these beautiful flowers that, despite the name, come in more than just blue. It\u2019s truly a sight to behold. Time your spring break with a road trip around Hill Country, and you\u2019ll be able to see them in full bloom. Just be careful \u2013 you can\u2019t just hop off and trespass on private property! Instead plan a stop somewhere like <a href=\"https:\/\/wildseedfarms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wildseed Farms<\/a> to safely enjoy. You can also visit the town of Ennis for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitennistexas.com\/bluebonnet-trails-and-festival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bluebonnet Festival<\/a>. Their trail is also open all of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as a bonus for any American history buffs \u2013 you can visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/lyjo\/planyourvisit\/visitlbjranch.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LBJ Ranch<\/a> for all things Lyndon B. and Lady Bird Johnson as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificwarmuseum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Museum of the Pacific War.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Costa Rica for a Tropical Break<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Costa-Rica-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Costa-Rica-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Costa-Rica-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Costa-Rica-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Costa-Rica.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Get tropical in beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/episodes\/season-8\/northern-costa-rica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Costa Rica<\/a>! It\u2019s still dry season, which means you won\u2019t have to worry too much about rain dampening your trip. If you\u2019re worried about the beaches and resorts filling up with students and families, head inland and north for a quieter, greener adventure. Stay at the eco-friendly, gorgeous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riocelestehideaway.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hideaway Rio Celeste<\/a> to really feel like you\u2019re tucked away in the jungle. Their rooms are individual bungalows! Then check out <a href=\"https:\/\/riocelestehiking.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Onca Tours<\/a> for an adrenaline rush. I highly recommend their night time wildlife trek and tubing tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Tampa, Florida for a Fun Escape<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Tampa-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Tampa-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Tampa-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Tampa-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Tampa.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do want to dip your toe back into the nightlife scene without committing to it wholly for your trip, might I suggest Tampa? I know, I know, compared to other places in Florida, Tampa falls much lower on the list of fun, party destinations. But that\u2019s where you\u2019re mistaken. This city knows how to have fun! Historic Ybor City (a neighborhood despite the name), feels like a less chaotic version of Bourbon Street and is full of cigar bars and dance clubs. Don\u2019t be surprised if you come across some free roamin\u2019 chickens when you visit either. Stay at <a href=\"https:\/\/hotelhaya.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotel Haya<\/a> to be right around the corner from all the fun. If you time it right, you\u2019ll also be able to stay during one of their chicken yoga classes. Yes, you read that correctly. Chicken yoga!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you need a breather from the party, hop on their free trolleys and head downtown to Tampa\u2019s gorgeous Riverwalk. Or drive over to Mobbly Bayou Nature Preserve for some peaceful kayak fishing with the <a href=\"https:\/\/tampabaykayakanglers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tampa Bay Kayak Anglers<\/a>. And if you\u2019re here on a Sunday, do NOT miss the <a href=\"https:\/\/wattampa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thai Market<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Lisbon, Portugal for a European Break<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lisbon-Post-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lisbon-Post-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lisbon-Post-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lisbon-Post-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lisbon-Post.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to cross the pond for spring break? Check out Lisbon! It\u2019s a fairly short flight from the East Coast (comparable to flying to the West Coast) and is perfect for anyone itching to get themselves to Europe. The city itself is beautiful with pastel facades, a huge coastal area, and incredibly walkable \u2013 albeit uphill \u2013 streets. Board one of its famous yellow trams to enjoy the views and eat as many <em>patel de natas<\/em> as your heart desires. When you want to get out of the city, head out to beautiful Sintra with its even more beautiful castle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and did I mention, the weather tends to be sunny and in the <em>sixties<\/em>? A practical dream after surviving this persistent sub-freezing winter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Big Sky, Montana for a Wintry Getaway<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Big-Sky-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Big-Sky-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Big-Sky-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Big-Sky-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Big-Sky.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flipside, if you can\u2019t get enough of winter and want even <em>more<\/em> snow, plan a spring break to <a href=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/episodes\/season-6\/big-sky-montana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Big Sky, Montana<\/a>. Fun fact: we filmed our \u201cPlaces to Love\u201d episode in March, so all that snowy footage you see is from the start of spring. Ski season here lasts until mid-April, and you\u2019ll have 6,000 acres to choose from!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spend your days on the slopes or get into the water for some fly fishing. When you do need a break to warm-up, check out The Rocks Tasting Room for a cozy bowl of authentic pho and a Montana mule. You can also explore <a href=\"https:\/\/museumoftherockies.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Museum of the Rockies<\/a> for the largest dinosaur collection in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Williamsburg &amp; the Historic Triangle, Virginia for a Historic Adventure<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Williamsburg-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Williamsburg-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Williamsburg-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Williamsburg-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Williamsburg-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you and your friends certified history buffs? This is THE year to head to Virginia\u2019s Historic Triangle! Base yourself at the Williamsburg Inn, which sits in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. Once you check in, you can walk right into town and see just how dedicated this place is to showcasing everything you would\u2019ve seen during the 1700s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your stay, visit the other two spots that make up this triangle \u2013 Jamestown and Yorktown. Jamestown was home to the first permanent English settlement in America and before that, the land belonged to the Powhatan tribe. Check out Historic Jamestowne to learn more about its history and recent archeological finds. Over in Yorktown, hop aboard a Stanley steamer ride and learn firsthand about the battle that ended the Revolution. Bonus points if you play the \u201cBattle of Yorktown\u201d while you do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in between all your history hopping? Take <em>full<\/em> advantage of Williamsburg\u2019s status as \u201cThe Pancake Capital of the World.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Anywhere on Route 66 for a Road Trip<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Route-66-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Route-66-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Route-66-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Route-66-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Route-66.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the year of the Great American Road Trip, and there are <em>so<\/em> many fantastic road trips you can choose from. The one that\u2019s close to my heart right now has to be all <a href=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/destinations\/route-66-road-trip-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2,448 gorgeous miles of Route 66<\/a>! Now, don\u2019t try to do the whole thing over your spring break. Not only would you be driving insane numbers every day, you\u2019d spend so much time on the road, you\u2019d miss out on what makes Route 66 so fun \u2013 the towns and side stops along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I say pick 1-2 states to drive through and then map out where you want to go from there. Just keep in mind the weather, major festivals, and the changes in elevation and time zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong>Jeju, South Korea for Cherry Blossom Season<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Seoul-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Seoul-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Seoul-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Seoul-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Seoul.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Willing to hop on a long flight half way across the world? Go somewhere to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom! While most travelers will start flooding Japan for <em>hanami<\/em> and even <a href=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/episodes\/season-2-2\/seoul-south-korea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seoul, South Korea<\/a> will see its fair share of crowding at major cherry blossom spots, you\u2019ll find relative peace on Jeju Island. Just an hour\u2019s plane ride from Seoul, the island is not only full of fluffy cherry blossoms, it\u2019s absolutely flooded with bright yellow canola fields everywhere you turn. Rent a car to drive around and don\u2019t miss gorgeous Noksan-ro to get both cherry blossom <em>and<\/em> canola fields in one. If you\u2019re up for some adventure, set aside a day to hike Hallasan, South Korea\u2019s tallest mountain. And, of course, take advantage of island culture and sample all the seafood you come across!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong>Crystal Coast &amp; Outer Banks, North Carolina for a Cool Beach Trip<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Crystal-Coast-2-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Crystal-Coast-2-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Crystal-Coast-2-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Crystal-Coast-2-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Crystal-Coast-2-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And by cool, I mean the weather! The Outer Banks of North Carolina is full of visitors come summer but in March and April when temperatures hover in the 50s, you\u2019ll find places that feel completely calm and quiet. The <a href=\"https:\/\/samantha-brown.com\/episodes\/season-8\/crystal-coast-of-north-carolina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crystal Coast<\/a> in particular offers so much to do for spring breakers. Book a stay in charming Beaufort and then spend your day at Shackleford Banks witnessing the sheer beauty of horses in the wild. At night join the <a href=\"https:\/\/ccgazers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crystal Coast Stargazers<\/a> and take advantage of Cape Lookout\u2019s International Dark Sky status. I particularly love a long stroll on a beach, and nowhere is quite as lovely as the one near Oceanana Pier House. When you\u2019ve worked up an appetite, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oceananapier.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">get their seafood boil<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See what I mean?
