Schools out for summer! Yep, it’s that time of year. Vacations and travel don’t have to be anything massively large, expensive, and time-consuming. Almost anywhere you live, there are interesting things you can drive to for a day trip. For the many millions living in big cities, when is the last time your family went to the big tourist spots there? (If your answer is “never”, you aren’t alone.)

If you are short on funds, take a day-trip or maybe a family road trip. Some of the best places are ones you see on a highway sign or find in the brochures at a highway rest stop. Take a chance and try something new! You never know how great a memory seeing that giant ball of twine might be.
