Tip: Know your kids. A vacation with a lot of walking attractions, like historical destinations, can be great but your kids have to be able to walk it all and stay focused as well. Younger children will only tolerate so much before they get cranky. Either break up the walking part or understand you have to save some of the history for when they are older.
And that’s the Festival of Frugality! I hope you enjoyed. Make sure you check out next week’s edition at My Journey to Millions.
