Hit the road for a birthday you'll always remember.
Birthdays are a reason to celebrate. Instead of purchasing a gift for a loved one on her birthday, give her an experience. Whether you're part of a couple or a family, a birthday trip provides the opportunity to celebrate a birthday while forming memories that will last a lifetime.
Beachside Bliss
Lay back in beach chairs for a relaxing birthday trip.
During the summer months, it's hard to beat a trip to the beach. Whether you stay at an all-inclusive resort or a cottage on the shore, the ocean provides a stunningly beautiful backdrop for a birthday celebration. Couples looking for a relaxing weekend can lay in the sun, take a dip in the waves and stroll along the sandy beach. Many oceanside communities feature a booming nightlife, which is perfect for those looking to have a more energetic birthday bash.
Vineyard Adventure
Enjoy a glass of wine in a vineyard.
Couples who enjoy good wine and delicious food can celebrate a birthday with a trip to a vineyard. From Long Island, New York, to Napa Valley, California, there are many vineyards that invite guests to tour their grounds and taste their wines. Enjoy a leisurely walk through the vineyard, see how their wines are produced and sample a selection of wines. Areas riddled with vineyards and wineries often also boast gourmet food. Follow the vineyard exploration with a scrumptious dinner.
Leaf Peeping
Go for a walk to look at the leaves.
When summer fades to fall, the leaves develop a vitality of their own. For an autumn birthday trip, head to the northeast to take in the gorgeous sight of New England's brilliantly colored foliage. After a home-cooked meal at a bed and breakfast, hit the road to take a peek at the leaves. Make sure to take pictures of the brilliant reds, bold oranges and blazing yellows that fill the trees.
Ski Trip
Take in the beauty of the mountains on your birthday.
For a wintertime birthday adventure, outdoor lovers can hit the slopes. A trip to Colorado or Vermont in the winter provides a cold yet exciting way to spend a birthday. Spend the day skiing or snowboarding, while taking in the awe-inspiring views from the top of the mountain. Those who don't ski can participate in other winter activities, such as skating or snow-shoeing, or can relax in the lodge. Warm up with a delicious dinner and hot chocolate.
