Can you believe it’s already mid-July? Summer is flying by!
Here in Virginia, our kids go back to school on Aug. 8 (what?!?). That doesn’t leave much time left for a family vacation for us, but if you’re still up for a getaway with the kiddos, we’ve compiled a few inspiring ideas.
If you’re flying to your destination, be sure and book airport parking early. Links to coupons follow below!
Visit a National Park
Andie and her family visited California's Yosemite National Park in July 2014 — amazing! See Half Dome in the background?
The National Park Service turns 100 this year and there are a TON of exciting events and activities planned at the more than 412 units that make up the NPS.
Family is the focus so find a park near you and get exploring!
Head to the City
There’s never a shortage of things to do when you take the kids to New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, Boston or any major metro area.
Budget travelers should definitely look into companies like CityPass or Go City Card, which bundle prepaid admission to a city’s top attractions into one ticket booklet. The passes often save half or more on what it would cost to purchase the same admissions separately at museums, iconic spots, monuments, aquariums and more.
Bonus tip: Groupon is a great place to save even more on these passes, as well as similar local offerings so check the coupons at your destination city before purchasing.
