Cheap Family Fun is a
web site for all those families who love to travel but are on a tight buget! Our family managed to
find creative ways to see the places we wanted to see (and stay
within our budget) as we were growing up. In todays world we have all had to learn how to be more creative
to achieve our travel goals! Other families, similar to ours inspired us to start this site! In short, it's a
one-stop resource site for traveling with kids on the
cheap!
There are lots of sites
available for folks who have the means to travel in comfort with
their families and there's lots of sites available for the
individual with wanderlust who can backpack across continents at a
time on less money than most folks spend in a week, but
...
I couldn't find anything for
families -- folks with kids (whether they be traditional or combined
families, single-parents, grandparents, foster-parents, guardians,
aunts, uncles, ANYONE caring for kids) -- where we could all get
together and share ideas, advice, and resources for not only saving
money, but pinching pennies tightly while enjoying safe,
kid-friendly getaways.
In short, if you have kids and
a burning desire to see every corner of the United Sates, but not
much in the wallet ... THIS IS YOUR
SITE! I've assembled a
multitude of Products and Services right here in one location to help
you find the best deals for the most memorable family events you can
imagine (some you don't even have to leave home
for).
I used to spend hours
researching ways to see places, get there cheap, save money once
there, but not sacrifice safety or comfort for the kids. I've combined what I've learned here in
one easy location -- everything from luggage and camping
gear to travel
games, accommodations and beyond.
My hope is that this will
become a meeting place where other incurable travelholics with kids
(and little money), like me, can come together and share ideas,
experiences, and tips for getting there on a dime and
actually having a memory-building experience no matter how near or
far!
By the way, I
have a personal goal of keeping this
site centered in traditional family values, even though my
family is somewhat non-traditional itself. If, at any time,
you feel that any link or item on this web site fails to meet that
standard, please notify us right away!
You'll notice that we have
pages offering suggestions for family-friendly vacation spots to
visit. If EVER you'd like to find other families interested in
group travel to a specific location in order to save money, let us
know -- we'll toss the idea out and see who is
game. You can for sure save big bucks this way!
Need ideas on getting
somewhere and staying there CHEAP, let me know and I'll do
my best to help get you the resources you need! I LOVE
doing this so don't ever feel like you're bothering me,
okay?
REMEMBER ... Cheap Family Fun is an
ongoing work-in-progress!
