Your NY & Northeast Family Trip Expert
I’m Amanda Cave Jackson.
A full time working mom of two from Upstate NY. I was working constantly. Then one day it hit me: What’s the point if I miss this time with them?
So, we started driving. Since 2018, we’ve explored 50+ destinations across NY and the Northeast—all within 6 hours of home. I test the trips so you don’t have to. You show up and create the inside jokes.✨
