We have 4 young kids and haven't had a vacation alone since they were born. Protecting your marriage is an important thing to do, and we needed (and wanted) some time away alone to refocus on each other. I'm thankful to my parents for making that possible.Jessica-MomForHimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872767634799916253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001737528167065961.post-76640844651335803232009-08-07T10:28:25.251-05:002009-08-07T10:28:25.251-05:00No, hotel stays and parasailing are not the most f...No, hotel stays and parasailing are not the most frugal activites. But for the bulk of the 3 weeks we stayed with my parents, which was free. We shopped for groceries with coupons (of course!) and saved money on food. <br /><br />However, I'm not all that sure I need to justify it! We only see my parents once or twice a year, and if you've read my blog, you know my dad has had serious health issues this year (cancer and a quadruple bypass within 4 months), so we wanted to be able to make the most of it. <br /><br />And even so, we are frugal in other areas of our life so that we can splurge once in awhile on the things that matter most, like spending time with family! If you can't spend money on the things that matter, then what is the point?Jessica-MomForHimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872767634799916253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001737528167065961.post-7625643928425919522009-08-07T10:04:03.226-05:002009-08-07T10:04:03.226-05:00A three week vacation doesnt sound that frugal.A three week vacation doesnt sound that frugal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001737528167065961.post-18327366572913263032009-08-07T07:25:37.467-05:002009-08-07T07:25:37.467-05:00How fun, Jessica!!!!
