AAA revealed the top spring travel destinations - and it seems warm sand beaches are the places to be. Many families are ready to escape to warmer weather after a long winter and here's the top ten destinations:

  1. Orlando, Fla.
  2. Los Angeles, Calif. (Anaheim)
  3. San Diego, Calif.
  4. Myrtle Beach, S.C.
  5. Miami, Fla.
  6. Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
  7. Washington, D.C.
  8. New York, N.Y.

Proving that theme parks continue to be a popular vacation option, Orlando and Los Angeles holding top spots on this year’s list.

All of these places seem like nice places for a spring getaway. Need one more reason to split?
