[quote=Anonymous]Around DC, I can't say. But, generally: camping. Places like Great Wolf Lodge. If a splurge kinda year, they go to Disney/Orlando. I grew up middle class with intellectual parents and we went to visit family who were about a 3 hour flight away. The amount of flying we did was unusually high for our income bracket; when I was in middle school we also took a big trip to Europe and stayed at hostels and camped. Also unusual. Many low-to-middle class people I know now have never been on a plane, and certainly never been abroad. I think how much and where you go is a combination of your values and your income; many LMC and MC families I know may have unusually nice cars or tvs but don't travel. Not everyone cares to and I certainly don't begrudge them their choices. My DH grew up more middle class than me and barely ever traveled beyond his own state until he was in high school and started traveling b/c of his extracurriculars. [/quote]
