One of our favorite holidays is July 4th. It just seems like a no-brainer to travel given the promise of warm weather, fireworks, and that extra day off from work. However, sometimes life gets in the way and we forget to schedule that getaway (guilty as charged). Or maybe you're just the type of traveler who waits until the last minute. Also fine is that. Because planning a fantastic vacation to celebrate Independence Day is still possible. We've compiled the top last-minute 4th of july weekend getaways that are simple to reach from major U.S. cities to make planning easier (time is running out, after all).
