ROAD TRIP — There are plenty of perks to living in the Capital Region — the hiking trails, the fall leaves, you name it. But perhaps one of the area’s best features is its proximity to so many Northeastern cities and sights. Where else would you be able to reach Portland, Maine; Baltimore, Maryland; Niagara Falls and everything else in between in roughly five hours or less?
This much travel convenience calls for a road trip. We’ve selected a travel destination that will not only allow you to spend a good few hours jamming to your favorite tunes in the car but is also hosting an occasion that will be worth the ride.
Take a look at this week’s pick below:
DESTINATION: Disney100: The Exhibition at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA
THE TRIP: Approx. 4 hours via car | 5 hours via train | 6 hours via bus
THE RUNDOWN: Disney lovers, get the road tunes ready! In celebration of the 100-year anniversary of The Walt Disney Company, the Disney100: The Exhibition at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia brings guests through the stories that have captivated Disney fans since 1923.

More than 250 models, props, and other archival memorabilia will also be available for viewing.
