Be sure to have enough gas in the tank, because Albany is worth making a detour for. Situated 45 miles from Whitingham, it offers some terrific attractions, such as Times Union Center and Palace Theater. Nothing says living big like a road trip, so keep on driving to Saratoga Springs. It’s 50 miles away and also has a few excellent sights, such as Saratoga Performing Arts Center and Canfield Casino.
