Best Things to Do in Southeast USA

Alabama

It has been a while since I’ve been to Alabama, but I visited with my grandmother as she was born in coastal Alabama. I’m hoping to make it back soon for a visit to the gulf coast.

  • Mobile

Florida

Disney World, beaches, history, a few national parks and more awaits in Florida. Be sure to check out our Disney and The Everglades Itinerary to see what we did in the winter of 2025!

Georgia was home to the 1996 Summer Olympics. Atlanta is a fun, historic city and you can visit the beaches and coastal cities, like Savannah, Tybee Island, Jekyll Island and St Simons Island.

Kentucky

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, just on the border of Kentucky, so we visit often and there is so much to see and do! Mammoth Cave is the longest known cave system in the world, stretching over 400 miles. There are also Louisville, Lexington, horses and bourbon!
