A family vacation can be expensive with high gasoline prices and expensive air fare travel. But during spring break from school, your family can plan a vacation on a budget. Get the kids involved in the planning and work together to make this spring break a fun time for the whole family. Include your children in making plans for the days off from school. Your child can put into practice math skills by helping to create a vacation budget. Have a family meeting and discuss the expenses that you expect to have each day. Include your child in making suggestions of how to cut costs and save money for special events that are a little more expensive. Here are a few suggestions that can help the family to save money and have fun, too.
You can begin by visiting venues in your home town. Check out a few of these:
1. Visit local museums and parks
2. Bring your own food and have a picnic
3. Plan a barbeque and invite family and friends
4. Rent or visit the movie theaters at a reduced price
5. Visit your local library and check out some great books
6. Use the local media to investigate other family friendly opportunities
The main thing is to include your children in the planning for your spring break vacation. You are helping your child appreciate the value of family time and are building those lasting memories that will last a lifetime.
