What to do in an East Coast USA road trip?

Me and a friend are going to spend 5 days max on a road trip leaving from Oconee National Park heading to Augusta for a few hours and eventually end in NYC.



So, I'm after advice on where to go/what to see. I'd like to spend a day %26amp; night in North Carolina, Virginia and Baltimore.



Any advice for anything to see in between? Myrtle Beach worth a trip? We will be hiring a car and don't have a huge budget. We're not looking to go to the rowdiest of places but we're not going to shun the advice of where decent clubs/bars are at! Same goes for restaurants!



Scenic routes?



Even to be pointed in the direction of sites to help us would be good.



Beginning to ramble this into the makings of a singles advert so I'll stop there.

Myrtle Beach is definitely worth the trip. Here are a couple of links to places you talked about and what they have to offer in the form of attractions. I hope this was helpful.

I don't think 5 days is enough for a road trip. You'll be spending most of the day driving, as a trip for Georgia to New York City would take around 20 hours.



New York City should have its own day, or maybe even two if y'all are going at a slower pace :) Best clubs/bars are here, but remember the drinking age here in the US is 21!



Yeah, Myrtle Beach is worth a trip, although I'd say Florida beaches are better! (although Florida is out of your way, though)



Stop by Washington DC on the way and take some pictures of the stuff there. Then leave before you get shot! No, just playing, its a beautiful city :D



You'll be driving on the Interstate Highway 95 most of the way. Georgia has great views of the ocean, you'll drive in the middle of Richmond, Virginia and Baltimore. You'll have a fantastic view of New York City driving through New Jersey.
= = Day 1- Drive up to DC. You can spend 2 weeks here alone, but for your trip, do a day. Park at union station.



In the morning, hit the mall, check out the white house, the lincoln memorial, the washington monument

In the afternoon, hit a smithsonian museum (i like the new american history one, it is sweet.).



Dinner time. Eat at union station, and drive out on NEW YORK AVE (Route 50), to annapolis. stay the night in annapolis. Walk around the docks, chill out.



Have breakfast the next morning at chick %26amp; ruths on Mainstreet.



Drive across the bay bridge on 50 east to Ocean city. Spend the afternoon chillin on the beach.



Eat dinner in OC, and head north on the coastal highway into delaware. spend the night in rehoboth beach.



After a morning on the beach, drive to philly. Center City. Go check out the liberty bell, walk around. eat lunch.



By 4 pm, get in the car and drive to New York.



Spend several days in NY. SO much to do hard to list.



Then head to Vermont. Its gorgeous. Check out Burlington. Maybe a day.



Drive east to Maine, hit the southern maine coastal towns. Eat a lobster roll :)



Then drive home, stopping in Boston. From there, follow 95 until you hit Baltimore.



Spend an afternoon/evening in Baltimore. Go to an orioles game in camden yards if they are playing.



Eat some crabs in baltimore.



next morning, drive down to Richmond, but not on 95. take the old route 3 route 301 south way, pretty countryside in southern maryland and virginia.



= Enjoy. ROad trips are fun :)
