The sentence that requires semicolons instead of commas is:

"This summer, we are going on a road trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Maryland, and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware."

In this sentence, using semicolons would help to clearly separate the items in the list, which include both cities and states. The corrected sentence with semicolons would look like this:

"This summer, we are going on a road trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware."
