If you want to take a vacation this summer you don’t have to plan for a far flung getaway. There are many ideas that will cost much less and still guarantee you will have a lot of fun and a chance to escape your day to day life. Making long lasting memories to share and preserve in your online photo galleries is right around the corner!
Here are three ideas for the kinds of vacations you can take.
Camping
This is THE summer vacation isn’t it? All you need is a tent or two (or even borrow one from a friend or family member). Invest a little money in food, an expense you would have at home anyway, and rent a camping spot. Kids will love sleeping outside, cooking over the campfire and maybe even swimming in the lake. Who knows it might become a regular family activity!
Take a Road Trip
If you have a large family you know driving is cheaper, often much cheaper than flying. It also gives you the chance to enjoy the journey and see things you’d otherwise be flying over. Take lots of pictures along the way for your web photo album.
Try to make frequent stops. Kids can get a little antsy if they're asked to sit in a car for many hours at a time. If you can find fun things to do every few hours rather than drive for long distances at a time, that'll go a long way towards preserving your sanity.
Visit a Family Member
Today’s families are spread out all over the world. Get in touch with some of your family members and see if they would be open to a visit. Hopefully they’ll be willing to open their home and allow you to stay with them. Not only will you be able to have a nice visit, your kids will have the chance to get to know this part of their family and the place where they live.
