COLUMBUS, Ohio – Summer vacation is fast approaching, but with the tough economic times, many may think it’s too expensive to go anywhere with children. But, there are things you and your family can do on a budget. Recently, NBC 4 spoke with a local travel expert who says get creative. You can pitch a tent in your backyard for your own little “stay-cation”. Camp out and enjoy time with your children, or you can opt for a “day-cation”. Pick a site in your area to visit and explore.
If you are planning to travel, there are deals to be had. Travel experts say to use technology. Sign up for e-alerts on travel websites so you will be the first to know if there are specials that come up. One website to check out before Monday night is www.visitdirectair.com.
