How to Travel During The School Year

Happy back to school season, my friends! I know many of you have kiddos going back to school this time of year, are starting your homeschool year, or are a teacher yourself. Let’s talk about how you can maximize your travel opportunities while still working around the school calendar. Sometimes you just have to take an extra day or two to extend an already-planned school closure and you have the perfect travel window!

These dates are specific to the school calendar for Rutherford County, TN. Be sure to check your school’s calendar for random closure/ teacher work days that give you even more wiggle room! Utilizing these more random days for travel lessons crowds and, generally, travel prices.
