Avoid Summer Boredom: Now’s the Time to Plan a Hassle-Free Summer Vacation

The first few weeks of summer vacation are great for kids ... but you know it's only a matter of time before the "Mom, I'm bored" comments start.

It happens to adults, too. We're tired of the same walls, the same TV shows, the same routines. If you haven't planned your summer vacations yet, now's the time to get started. Data shows that 68 percent of Americans say they are at least moderately burned out, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Give yourself and your family the breaks you need to be your best selves and make travel a priority.

First things first: You'll want to fly out of Atlantic City International Airport. Skip the lines, skip the layovers, skip the traffic and start your vacation that much faster with a quick flight. Spirit offers nonstop flights from the Atlantic City International Airport to Boston, Miami, San Juan, and Atlanta.

Our sister station, SoJO 104.9, has written about attractions, food, museums, and more in several key destinations, but we think Boston is an under-appreciated getaway you should definitely explore. If you're into sand dunes, whale-watching, lighthouses, and low-key relaxation, you have Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard nearby.

If you want to explore key historical sites, you have the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail including Bunker Hill Monument, the USS Constitution, and Faneuil Hall. They also have botanical gardens, a stellar aquarium, and the Franklin Park Zoo.

You can take in a Red Sox game at "America's Most Beloved Ballpark." Oh, and the Zac Brown Band is playing at Fenway Park on July 15.

The flight out of ACY to Boston is less than 90 minutes, and ACY really does make travel quick and convenient, whether you're choosing Boston or another getaway destination. Check out their nonstop flights and book online now at acyflights.com.

One more little tidbit: The airport crew will be joining us at our live broadcast from the Barefoot Country Music Fest and giving away a pair of Spirit airline tickets. If you'll be there, you'll definitely want to stop by and see us for a chance to win!
