Just because your nose is to the grindstone from 9 to 5 during the week and you have weighing responsibilities like insurance payments, loans and rent does not mean you cannot treat yourself to a celebratory spring trip with your friends. Get the group texts going and plan your adult spring break vacation to one of the cities below for a tamer but just-as-memorable and much-needed escape from the trials of adulthood.

Austin, Tex.
As the epicenter of live music, rowdy bars and laidback attitudes, Austin will accommodate your newfound adult interests while still allowing you to let loose and have fun like a college kid. Gorge on delicious Tex-Mex cuisine and get in the spirit by shopping for your own Texas garb like cowboy boots and plaid shirts. Keeping Austin weird has never been easier.

Tulum, Mexico
When you’ve grown too old for the debauchery of Cancun, Tulum is Mexico’s calmer resort town to the south. Architectural ruins, millennia of history and gorgeous beaches offer a more authentic Mexican holiday where tequila is still on every menu.

Puerto Rico
If you are really itching to truly get away, Puerto Rico is your best bet. Rincon, in particular, transports you to a land without tourists and without the overwhelming resorts. Kick back on a private beach with a mojito and let the worries of your job slip away in the Caribbean Sea.

Charleston, S.C.
Beaches, shopping and history abound in this charming southern city. Spend your days basking in the sun or under the ubiquitous palm trees, and at night explore the city’s famous bars, seafood restaurants and famous Southern hospitality.

Nashville, Tenn.
Take out your headphones and prepare to kick it up a notch in Music City, where tunes ring through the streets and it’s almost impossible to stop dancing. Delve into the local barbecue scene where finger-licking ribs and buckets of beer will distract you from worries back home.
