Economical Vacations

by Jennifer Rathbun on June 24, 2009

If you’ll be heading out on vacation soon or staying home because you thought you could not afford to go anywhere, you may want to look into this free national park weekend link.

It lists each state and when each participating park is having their free weekends.

Fee-Free Weekend Parks

I don’t think it’s on the list, but I plan on taking my girls to Westmoreland State Park this summer. They’ve never seen an Olympic-sized swimming pool!

With the 4th of July next weekend, it’s time for us to get serious about our summer plans! We have a week long vacation scheduled into our calendars, but we don’t know where we are going!

Maybe we should stay home, visit Mount Olympus Berry Farm, go to the pool and beach, sleep, read a good book, and catch up on our blog reading!

Living in Caroline/Spotsylvania means that the mountains and the beach are only about 2-3 hours away! We also have enough history between DC and Richmond to keep us busy for months!

One of my favorite books is about 1 day trips in Virginia. Maybe I should pull that book out when I get home.

What are your plans for Summer? Do you know of a special, local (within the day’s drive) event that you want to share with the community? Or do you have a favorite annual event that you attend during the summer? (Hurcamp Park picnics, free kids movies). Let’s have it!
