Summer vacation season is
quickly approaching, and like many people, you may be seeking fun yet
affordable travel destinations this year.
Value Place is pleased to offer a few suggestions below. With a little research and a splash of
creativity, you can craft a memorable vacation that won't bust your budget. Have a great trip!
Value Place's Top 3
Budget-Friendly Vacation Tips:
1. Enjoy a "Staycation": When was the
last time you enjoyed time off at home? Here's
your chance to complete those "I'll get to it someday" projects, visit hometown
attractions or simply kick back with a tall glass of iced tea and relax.
2. Volunteer: Find a cause you believe in and help out in your community or someone
else's. Several churches and schools
organize summer mission trips -- many at little to no cost to you.
3. Road Trip! Find a Value Place, where you can
stay a week for what most places charge for one night (plus, you can save money
on meals by doing your own cooking in the kitchen in your room). Scope out some frugal yet fun activities in
the area, and off you go! Places to consider:
·
Loveland,
CO: Enjoy unique shops, restaurants and outdoor
fun. Loveland is known as the "Gateway to
the Rockies," and Rocky Mountain National
Park is just a short drive away.
·
Kansas
City, MO: Catch a Royals game,
peruse the Plaza or visit the zoo or Oceans of Fun -- in KC, there's so much
to do! For the ultra budget-conscious,
here's a list of free
attractions.
·
Corpus
Christi, TX: If it's not a vacation without a beach, this one has
your name all over it.
·
Memphis,
TN: Catch a bite of barbecue and a bit of the blues on
Happy travels! We'd love to hear your budget-friendly vacation
ideas! Leave a comment and let us
know.
