[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here is what we do because we like to get away for spring break but don't want to break the bank. Look into various flights to Florida - some good airports to try are Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville. [b]Try to find flights around $200 RT pp[/b]. Sometimes you have to leave a day early and/or come home a day or two early.

[b]So that's $800. [/b]Then go on VRBO and find a nice condo on the beach within a reasonable drive of whatever airport you fly into. 5 nights x $200-$250 is $1000-$1200. Food/rental car will put you over budget but if you are thrifty you could maybe do it for $2500. Especially if you take either a smaller condo or one not directly on the beach. Cook a good amount of your food at the condo.

This is our 3rd year doing it - no its not exotic by DCUM standards but we enjoy it and its a nice break from DC winter for a price that doesn't break the bank for us.

Good luck![/quote]

OP has 3 children---so it would actually be $1000.  Also, with 3 children, it will probably limit the cars they can comfortable fit themselves plus their luggage in--If they use a stroller, pack and play, etc for the 2 year old that could take up all of the trunk room in a smaller car.   Add in the regular luggage and they might need to get an SUV/minivan--which are pricey![/quote]

Ok fine. Obviously a trip with 5 is going to cost more than a trip with 4. I was just explaining how we get away somewhere warm for spring break without breaking the bank. [/quote] I'm not OP or person who quoted you, but thanks for sharing this.  It's a great idea and I might consider this for my family of 4.[/quote]
