A Daytrip to Long Beach, NY
... the more famous party mansions on Fire Island and the Hamptons, but really there are tons of charming communities worth a visit, even for a New York day tripper.

Can’t get enough eggnog, candy canes or Christmas Carols? Then a day trip to Prescott is an idyllic way to celebrate the many traditions of the holidays even after you’ve opened your presents.
With parades, live concerts and light shows, it’s easy to see why Prescott was designated “Arizona’s Christmas City” in the late 1980s by then Governor Rose Mofford. The town simply comes alive and prides itself on welcoming visitors of all ages to enjoy fantastic shopping, arts and...

You can purchase a raft at a nearby store or bring your own if you don’t actually want to go right in the water.
