New England February Vacation Ideas for the Family

A lof of us are choosing to stay in the New England area for February vacation this year. That doesn’t mean you can’t take a day or weekend trip with the family and safely enjoy New England’s winter season! Here are a few ideas that support local businesses and organizations while helping you make the most of the time off.

New England Winter Getaways
