Choosing a budget hotel with a kitchenette can help with the cost of food which is the next expense to be calculated. If you travel with a cooler, you can avoid costly fast food by picking up fresh fruit, and sandwich items for breakfast and lunch, leaving dinner as your only restaurant meal for the majority of your vacation.
These items are easy to find and easy to fix for children, giving mom her much needed break as well. Finally choose the specific activities you'd like to do and then narrow down that down by priority. Throw in a little extra for miscellaneous expenses and you'll be on your way to a cost effective and much needed vacation.
