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."

This is because the cities are followed by their respective states, creating complex items in the list that could be confused if only commas were used. Semicolons help clarify the separation between the different locations.
