Washington, D.C. is another great place to go for Easter, although it might not be the first spot that comes to mind.

But think about it: the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll is tons of fun — if, of course, you can get tickets. They are limited, but you can get them courtesy of the National Park Service, beginning on the Monday before the Easter holiday.

Don’t worry if you can’t manage the tickets though. There are plenty of other things to do.

After all, the Smithsonian is still free, and the museums therein provide some terrific fun, not to mention learning experiences.

Although it is not quite the end of February, Easter will be here before you know it, so now is definitely the time to start booking your flights, train tickets, and hotel reservations.

One great place to visit this Easter, or simply this spring in general, is Boston. Natives to New England like to say that spring, like autumn, lasts all of ten minutes, but they may well be the most beautiful ten minutes in the world. Goodness knows that Boston definitely blossoms in spring time.

It is a great vacation idea for a number of other reasons as well. For one thing, the historic significance is a big draw, especially during family vacations. Not to mention, this is a great time to go on a whale watch.
