[quote=Anonymous]We just booked a week in Western NC (Asheville/Black Mountain) as soon as school gets out.  Nice cabin with 3 BR. for $1200-1300 for a week, so less than $200 a night. Kitchen, so we will buy groceries and eat two meals a day in. About a 7 hour drive for us.  Great time of year and beautiful weather.  Biltmore.  Arts District. Lots of funky shops. Craft guilds. Blue Ridge Chocolate factory. Great hiking, waterfalls, fishing, Blue Ridge parkway, nature, etc. Fun places to eat (like pizza and brewpubs) that don't break the bank. This is the third year we have done this. All told, a very nice, relaxing fun week with kids, not all crammed in the same hotel room for around $2000, lodging, travel, good and a couple excursions (lots of free and very low cost things to do, because of the National Parks). We love it. The kids love it. Great to recharge.

Now, this is DCUM "poors" vacationing on a budget, and not genuinely poor.  I recognize that. But for nice, relaxing, lots of fun things to do, and cost effective it is hard to beat.

I can't wait![/quote]
