Summer vacations can be very expensive, especially if you have children. Even the quintessential summer road trip can rack up thousands of dollars depending on how far you go and for how long. You don’t have to go far to enjoy a fun summer! The most important part is having a memorable and enjoyable experience you and your children won’t soon forget.
Camping
It doesn’t get much lower cost than camping. You can even do it in your backyard! Cook simple food, toast marshmallows and stay up late. Borrow a tent from a friend, bring sheets and blankets from home to further reduce costs. Don’t forget your camera to take lots of pictures! You’ll want to save those pictures for your web photo album when all is said and done.
Hit the Road
Even though driving still has some associated costs it’s often less expensive for a family than flying. Make your trip about the journey and less about the destination. Take pictures at tourist traps along the way. Enjoy documenting the trip as much as what you do one you arrive. This is an opportunity to see a lot of different cities, places and people in a short span of time. Challenge each other once you return to see who can put together the best online photo galleries. You might be surprised to see what stuck out for each person.
Visit a Family Member
If you have a family member living somewhat close by why not go visit? Of course get their approval first. See their city through their eyes – chances are it will be much different than a typical tourist. You’ll save money on lodging and have a unique experience. Don’t forget to reciprocate the offer to them sometime!
These are three very inexpensive vacations you can enjoy without spending a lot of money, which ever you do, remember to capture the memories to a web photo album.
