Enjoy Summer on a Tight Budget

     Summer is here again. Our kids have been bugging us to go just about everywhere -- the beach, the park, Hongkong Disneyland(!), and out of desperation, the malls! ;) What could we parents do these days to have maximum fun with our kids on a shoestring budget? Here are 3 ways to enjoy summer on a tight budget:

1.  Visit Your Hometown

   
Most of us parents have moved away from our hometown far too long we would not even recognize it should we visit this time around. Enjoy summer on a tight budget with style and a bit of nostalgia.

    This might be the perfect time to go back to your roots and reconnect with your family and friends back home. A great way for your kids to get to know your clan and childhood buddies. Get away



from the hustle and bustle of the city life and get immersed in the quiet and simple country life. I am sure that a relative or a friend would be excited to host your family for  a few days, to see the sights -- visiting scenic places both the memorable ones and the newly-built tourist attractions -- rekindle old ties and most of all feast on your favorite delicacies. Your kids will surely relish the experience and all of you will go home recharged and rooted once more. :)

   2.    Organize a Family Outing

     
     The kids will surely love this. Frolicking with their best-cousins on the beach, gathering seashells, building sand castles, singing and telling silly stories by the bonfire while roasting hotdogs with marshmallows and sleeping in the tent. Happiness! :)

    This is a great way to pool your resources together and gear up for SUMMER FUN. So what are you waiting for? Plan away!

   3.     Day Tour Is Best

     Another clever way of enjoying the sun and the sea on a tight budget is to go for day tour -- that would mean waking up early enough to let the kids witness the beautiful sunrise, bask in the sun with their play shovel and pail all day, and marvel at the dreamy sunset.


     Choose a resort that allows bringing in of food and drinks with no corkage fees whatsoever so you and the kids can have picnic fun too!


   
     There, with minimum expense, you get loads of hearty hugs and kisses from the kids with this one!!!

     It is possible to enjoy summer on a tight budget. It does not really take much to make kids happy. All it needs is for you to be ALL THERE wherever you are taking them this summer. Nothing beats quality bonding time. And with these best value getaway suggestions, your precious little ones will truly have an amazing summer experience and vice versa.
