Frank Ski isn't just an expert on food and other things to do in Atlanta. The Morning Culture co-host also loves taking his wonderful family out of town for quick getaway vacations. As Memorial Day approaches, many Atlanta families will be hitting the interstate for a fun holiday road trip. If you're still trying to decide where you want to take your loved ones for a little rest and relaxation, take Frank Ski's advice and hit one of these nearby destinations for a guaranteed great time.
Orlando, FL
The home of Disneyworld and many other large theme parks make Orlando an always-great idea for taking the family out of town and finding something for eveyrone. "Stay-off property and visit different attractions every day," Frank Ski says. "From sun-up to sundown you'll be busy, so make sure to pack your most comfy sneakers."
Panama City Beach, FL
Frank Ski says Panama City Beach is "A classic! Great beach fun for the whole family, with nightlife once the sun goes down and the kids go to sleep." TripAdvisor even has Panama City Beach ranked at #3 among America's best beaches in 2019, according to its annual Travelers' Choice Awards.

Seaside, FL
With quaint coastal cottages and a simple, serene atmosphere, Seaside is a fantastic place if you're looking to relax. "Small community feel with the beach at your fingertips," Frank says. "Rent a beach house and a bike for the week and create lifetime memories."
Destin, FL
The northwest Florida destination boasts beautiful white sand beaches thanks to its Emerald Coast location. Frank has three reasons you and your family will love it: "Affordable condo rentals, great seafood, and family fishing!"

Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN
Of course you don't always have to hit the beach to have a wonderful time with family and slow things down. And few cities within driving range prove this as well as the natural wonders of the Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. "A great place to rent a family cabin, go white-water rafting, go-cart riding, horsebacking, and more. If you're looking for a beach alternative, this is it," Frank insists.
