As spring break quickly approaches, these are some cool places to spend it. Grab your friends, family, or dog and take a well deserved trip out of Ohio.

1. Myrtle Beach

This is the typical spring break trip, and it can be done for cheap. You’ll be at the beach, close to amusement parks, in the middle of all of the nightlife. Make sure to check out Broadway at the Beach for shopping. Or visit the Family Kingdom Amusement Park if you need a break from the beach. There's even a Hollywood Wax Museum. What more could you want? This is also where I’ll be spending my week, so come visit.

2. Washington D.C.

You can visit all of the museums and monuments. If you’re like me and haven’t been there since 7^th grade, it may be worth checking out. Obviously, the Smithsonian is a must see. It's also worth walking to the gates of the White House. Take a picture in front of the giant statue of Abe Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial.

3. Chicago, Illinois

I love Chicago, mainly because it’s always busy. Walk down the Magnificent Mile for some shopping. If it's nice, check out a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. If you're going with younger sisters, be sure to stop at the American Girl Place or grab your friends and check out the Hershey’s store.

4. Orlando, Florida

Uh, hello Disney World! Staying at the park may be a bit pricier, but neighboring hotels always shuttle you to and from the grounds. You don’t even have to go to Disney, there’s always something happening in Orlando. You could also go to the Universal Parks. Also, it’ll likely be warmer than Ohio so that’s another reason to go.

5. Toronto

I’ve been to Canada a few times and I always have so much fun when I go. There’s some incredible shopping, museums, and amusement parks. Be sure to check out the CN Tower and maybe even get a bite to eat there at the revolving restaurant inside. If you're into historic castles make sure to visit the Casa Loma. They give tours. Also, the drinking age is 19, so need I say more?
