Re: frugal vacation is it possible??????
After camping out of my car for a year...I second most of this advice....
-Find out if there are any fees for parking/admittance to the beach...Don't try to skip them, cause you may end up spending more to get your car outta hock!
-Take your own food and drink (Tip: a little spice adds a lot to a simple meal. Try red pepper flakes or a dash of garlic powder.)
-Make sure to wear sunscreen!
- Take cards, umbrellas, sunglasses, a good book, have a backup plan for days if it rains....You can always go window shopping (With the understanding that it's only that!) Maybe play a game with a small prize(say, a candy bar) for the most creative find.
- Have a little budget for mini-golf or go-karts, etc. Those are the best memories from vacations! Good for all ages!
- Try to guarantee each adult has some free alone or together time...sometimes that can do wonders!
- If you end up camping, make sure your tent is waterproof!
- Have fun!
-If you go in summer, some areas have attractions or even free festivals/entertainment on the streets, etc. My mom lives in VA beach and they always have free musical/singing/dance/magic acts on the boardwalk everyday during the summer.
-Looking forward to going to the beach in July myself!!
