However, that doesn’t mean you have to go without a vacation this year, especially when there are a few simple ways to make your cross country move feel like a vacation.

Since the cross country movers you select will handle the majority of your belongings, why not make the most of the journey to your new home? There are a number of websites you can reference to find the best places to stop on your route. Here are a few tips to help you make your move a little more fun.

Make the road trip a long one with vacation spots along the way

Whether you’ve already done research on which route you want to take or if you’re still in the planning phase, these websites can be helpful in leading you to scenic routes, offbeat attractions and ways to make your road trip one to remember. It’s also important to take a few breaks throughout the day to stretch your legs. Whether it’s a quick hike or walking around a park for 10-15 minutes, moving your legs can help keep your blood circulating and keep you alert.
