I mentioned in my last blog about the state parks nearby. These are “goldmines” as many of them are free to visit. (I have come across a few that require a small parking fee.) The wonderful thing is the state parks are more than just historical site, its forests, lakes, ocean side beaches. These are great for day outings to go fishing or hiking, or even weekend camping trips. You don’t always have to spend a lot of money for a fun day or a long weekend mini-vacation. So look around you, somewhere nearby is a beautiful place that can help you feel as if you have escaped from the everyday!

As a mother of four, I know that it can be difficult to find an affordable family vacation that the whole family will enjoy. And sometimes you just don’t have the time or the money for a long getaway.

Family vacation planning can also be very difficult when you have a large family, a family with kids who are spread out in age, or a family where different members have different needs. In my family, we have all three issues.

Kids grow up so fast! Now is the time to enjoy memorable vacations with them. I hope you enjoy this blog about our vacation adventures with our kids. Please feel free to come back often and share your comments and travel adventures with us!
