traveling the pnw
As a grad student I am all about low cost travel destinations and sites like groupon offer awesome groupon travel packages geared towards different types of travelers. Sites like groupon travel offer travel, camping, and local weekend getaways for very low cost. When I am shopping for travel deals I like finding the best vacations with kids that isn't going to cost a lot of money and my kids are going to actually want to visit. Although my kids are teens now, I know what its like traveling with small kids, therefore I also post about travel deals that are kid friendly. One of the best tips I can give my readers is to think about your family needs. Don't purchase all inclusive vacations for adults when you really need to find the best vacations for families. My family is big on camping, fishing, and theme parks, so you will find discount disney vacation packages, salmon river fishing tips, tips for camping with a dog, best camping trailers for those who don't do tents, and much more. From time to time I am also able to find awesome disney orlando vacation packages for my readers.
