Still Time for a Summer Vacation

Posted by Kelby Carr Jul 3, 2008

I think a lot of people believe that once you start traveling with kids, planning well ahead of time is so necessary. That totally isn't true. Not only that, you don't even need lots of cash to do it.

In fact, kids just love an unexpected vacation on short notice. Shoot, wake up one morning and announce you're taking a daytrip to a town an hour away. Or load the tent and some groceries into the car, and hit a nearby campground for the weekend.

You won't believe the morale boost both parents and kids also get from even a short weekend getaway. Sure, you may have longed to do that whole week-long beach vacation rental thing. But that isn't the only thing you can (or should) do for a summer vacation.
