[quote=Anonymous]We travel quite a bit as a family (at least 3-4 domestic trips per year) but I don't always prioritize international vacations. I'm a big believer in seeing national parks, hiking, road trips,  and trying to see as much as the US has to offer. Like many people in DC metro, I traveled a lot and had the opportunity to live in quite a few countries in my younger years. US travel, in my view, is one of the best countries with kids. It's stunning. I'd take it over Europe any day.

We try to hit up a new national park at least 1x per year. those can be done cheaply if within driving distance, with miles, or over a long weekend which makes travel easier.

International travel we also try for 1x per year, though had skipped in the COVID years.

You can do international on a shoestring if you pick the right destinations (e.g, SE Asia, Africa, LATAM can get good deals on lodging) and get a miles credit card if you don't have one. South Africa is a great place to get really nice hotels and meals for great value.

Pre-COVID we traveled overseas quite a bit to see family but usually went in November when tix were 1/2 of the summer costs.  If you can skip a few days week before Thanksgiving you'll get lowest ticket rates.
