Frugal Vacation Part I

I am not travel blogger (Jody is though so go check her out) but I thought I would do a couple of posts on our recent vacation.



We went to Breckenridge, Colorado for Spring Break. While we were there it snowed about 32". It was amazingly beautiful. We walked around while it snowed and really enjoyed the atmosphere of this ski town.



We did not have to pay for our lodging but after doing some research I discovered you can get some good ski deals in early winter. Also, if you don't ski then this would be a great place to go in the summer and fall because their lodging prices drop tremendously.

Another way our family saved money was by driving. Because we are only 12 hours away and gas is reasonable right now we probably spent approximately $150 roundtrip in gas.

We arrived in the evening on our first day there but if at all possible I would recommend trying to arrive during daylight. Otherwise you could miss views like this...



and you wouldn't want that to happen.
