[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family of 4, HHI of about 200K and our vacation budget is about 3K a year. That includes a beach week at the OBX where we host extended family, a long weekend away for the parents and one or two long weekend trips to somewhere within driving distance with the kids. Every two years we also take an international trip so those years the budget is a little higher (maybe adding 1-2K depending on the destination). [/quote]

OP here. How do you manage a week-long beach trip (along with other trips) for under $3k for the year? Do you split the beach house costs with other family members? [/quote]

PP you quoted here. We usually go in August and do not get a beachfront house (usually 7-8 houses away from the beach). We pay about $1,300 a week for a four-bedroom. There are of course food costs, but we do fair amount of meals at the house, dinner out maybe 2-3 nights and ice cream on the boardwalk and the like a few times. No, we do not split the cost with other family members. Our parents-only trip was in November, we went to a B&B in MD for two nights (roughly $500), took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge for two nights (also around $500 when it was all said and done), plus a few random weekends here and there, like snow tubing or visiting Philly. Totally doable.[/quote]
