On WSBT, this morning, we discussed ideas for cheap summer day trips. This is about the only way we do family trips anymore and I share my tips for getting the most bang for your buck.
Sound Off: Do you have any family day trips planned this summer? Where are some of your favorite places to visit?
One of my favorite day trip memories was about four or five summers ago. I took my kids, who were probably about 11 and 8 at the time, to the town where my husband and I attended college.
It’s only about 45 mintues away, so the trip wasn’t long, but we spent several hours exploring campus and hunting down the “Jayhawks on Parade” that were placed around the town. (If you remember Cows on Parade or Teddy Bears on Parade, this was a similar thing.)
It was a really simple day, but I have such fond memories of it and I think they do too.
