[quote=Anonymous]We our kids were little, we did a lot more local and/or affordable travel. A week in Williamsburg and Gatlinburg. A road trip to Boston. A week in West Virginia. A weekend in Shenandoah, a weekend in Harpers Ferry. Long weekends in Chincoteague and Rehoboth Beach (in the winter months) were very affordable and still fun. We did a week in Vermont.  All driving distance.

We also visit family and do "touristy things" when visiting so it feels more like a vacation.

DH and I made a pact that we would travel every 5 year anniversary. We went to NYC for year 5, but year 10 and 15 we were able to go to Europe. Making it an every 5 year thing allowed us time to save up and hunt for deals. Being open to different locations, traveling during the shoulder season, and not chasing the popular spots helped make these trips more affordable.

Finally, we sometimes travel together on work trips. One parent is working, but might be able to meet up for some parts or one extra day of travel. Their work pays for the hotel and one persons flight, so costs for the family are greatly reduced. We took the kids to San Diego like this- only paying for 3 flights and 1 night of hotel. [/quote]
