Kid-Friendly Travel

If there's one thing that gets me through the brutal cold of a Minnesota January, it's a trip in February to look forward to. We booked our flights to Orlando today. Ahh, I feel warmer already!

Now, I normally recommend trying to fly during the child's naptime. But this time the price was too high. Plus, now that our son is 4, he doesn't nap. The flights during normal day hours were close to $1200. each! We checked early morning flights, (since the boy is an early riser anyway, and we're going to Disney -so who can sleep the night before that?) and they were $253! Um, yeah, I'll get on the plane at 7am to save nearly a thousand dollars.

So, check those off-times for flights. It could just make a trip affordable after all.

I'm always on the lookout for ways to save money without compromising our trip. We buy membership passes to the things we use at home that can also help us when we're out of town. For example, we have a membership to our local Children's Museum. We bought the membership upgrade that allows us to have reciprocal admission to other Children's Museums throughout the country. For a few dollars more, we can get in free at most other children's museums. Our local zoo membership also gets us in free or at discounted admission to most zoos around the country.
On my hunt for more deals, I came across this article on memberships that are worth the money. Read the full article here: Six genius family travel buys - Family Travel - MSNBC.com
