North Carolina

There are not many good kid-friendly stops on the route _I-95 in North Carolina. It is better to turn to Interstate 85 and drive along the coast to get better views and more stops for the kids. So, if you are not in a hurry, consider prolonging the route to Disney Land.

If you are fond of seafood, Darien, a seaside village would be a perfect stop for shrimping and delicious seafood. Kids will like chicken waffles, a typical southern dish in a classical southern town.

Florida

When you come closer to Orlando and finally cross the border from the North, the best place is to stop in St. Augustine. There are so many interesting places there that you can spend days there, not to say about the hours. Kids would like an alligator farm where they can feed them and hold the smallest.
