Overseas travel may still be iffy, but when your everyday routes feel more like ruts, road trips can break you out of the routine. A lot has changed in our neighborhoods. So we asked locals for their best one-day itinerary for other locals outside of the urban core. Make sure to pack your cooler, ice packs, beach towel, slippers and a good amount of respect—don’t leave that trash behind!—before you go.
