When you think of a vacation, the first thing that may come to mind is a destination trip that requires traveling overseas. Somewhere exotic and different.

How about considering a road trip in America for the family instead? Since you have a  membership with Nationwide Roadside Assistance, no need to worry about what to do if your car breaks down.

Great idea, you say, but where do we go? Well, who better than Travel + Leisure to highlight "America's Top Roadside Attractions" providing ideas to take the entire family to learn and...be inspired. You'll be surprised that some attractions may even be in your own backyard.

So pack up the kids, a cooler, a GPS, your Nationwide Roadside Assistance membership cards .. and start driving!
