How Do You Stretch Your Vacation Dollars?

The school year is rapidly approaching in Johns Creek, and for my family that means attempting to cram every fun thing we promised we would do into the last few weeks we have free.

A trip to the beach, the local waterpark and to visit family are all on the summer agenda. Often, this means that our budget stops us from getting anything else done.

Having four kids has quickly made it a neccessity to learn how to budget our summer fun. Scouting out for great prices on hotels, staying on weeks that are not as popular, going with a group to get additional discounts, and buying season passes to our favorite place and wearing them out are just some of the things we do to extend our summer fun.
