Even though you may have left it until the last minute to get organised, when it comes to cheap holidays America has plenty to offer.
If you are taking your family on the trip, why not focus on a little bit of history and explore the national capital, Washington D.C.
One of the central locations to visit in Washington D.C. is the National Mall and Memorial Parks area, which covers a space of more than 1000 acres and includes some of the most important sites in American history.
A tour through this region will take you to the Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials – homage to three of the most influential presidents in US history.
You will also be given the opportunity to look at the Korean and Vietnam War Veterans Memorials, and get a feeling for wartime history.
And if you are really keen on history and artefacts, the Smithsonian Institution houses no less than 19 museums to be explored and enjoyed for free.
More than 25 million people made the trek to see the free museums last year, and it is an excellent opportunity to combine learning with a relaxing break.
