What are some inexpensive summer vacation ideas for families on a budget?
We love to take vacations but try to work within a budget. Any ideas?
Staycation! A few times a year we do this. We get a hotel within an hour of the house and stay for a couple nights. You try to plan activities in that city before we go. The children are just happy to be in a hotel!
I love to go to the beach, even if it's just for the day. If you don't live near the ocean, how about a lake or river. Kids love to swim, and it's generally a free activity.
We love to go through factory tours and children's museums. The factories are some of their best memories. My son's even requested to go on a tour through the Ford Rouge plant in their teen years! It is often free and it is always interesting!
Visit a family member and explore their city. You save tons on food and lodging and get to spend time with family.

What are your low cost vacation ideas?So many people have debt issues these days and taking a vacation is thought to be a no-no. But we all need a break now and then regardless. Long term planning and saving can make a simple vacation a possibility.
