Vacation Ideas that Won't Break the Bank
Spring is in the air. The flowers are blooming and trees are sprouting their leaves. After a long
cold winter, we finally wake up to the sound of lawn mowers with the aroma of fresh mowed
grass. We put away the dreary winter clothes and pull out the colors of spring. Now is the
chance for sun, fun and family adventures, as we step out of our homes and into a fresh air of
spring.
Unfortunately vacation plans might be considerably smaller than in past years. The
unpredictable economy and current state of turmoil has many families in doubt to how
they can remain close to home, yet still have a fun vacation.
Our main concept as a family is to save money and plan ahead. We need to determine
how much cash we can realistically spend, and then create a spending plan. Once this
is established, consider one of these family-oriented ideas.
Let the open road call your name with a local road trip to one of your state's great
vacation destinations. Pack the car with fun things to keep the kids entertained.
Sing songs; let the kids take turns being the navigator. Go somewhere you have
never been to before. Find an adventure such as a vacation rental instead of
a hotel and resort. Let the kids help make the menu and don't eat out. Pack
your meals and cook or BBQ at the rental. One thing that is great about a rental
property is that you save a ton of money by not eating out and can enjoy each
other's company that does not require you to be cooped up in one hotel room.
Go somewhere you can find history with historic sites, such as battlefields, forts
and monuments, and uncover the wonders of the world around you without the
huge travel expense. You can find these in your own backyard, just a quick car
ride away.
Camping is an adventure in itself and quite the bargain, but if you don't have
the equipment or the desire to pitch a tent, many parks offer other options
such as rental cabins or lodges. State and national parks often offer low- or
no-cost amenities including boating, canoeing, horseback riding and hiking.
For family fun, all go on the internet together and search for last-minute travel
bargains. Often package deals are a lower-cost alternative, but be sure you know
exactly what is included.
Times are tough for everyone and it is more important than ever to do things you're
your family that is in your budget and still exciting for the entire family. We have to
focus on the good times in our lives and the quality time spent with family. A small
family weekend getaway can involve a 15 drive to a small resort with a pool, or a
rental on the beach. Families don't care about WHERE you go as long as you GO."
