Budgeting for Vacation

Our 2nd family vacation is coming up so we are in super frugal, budgeting mode. Donald and I are once again committing to a 31 days of no spending beyond our monthly household bills to make this a good trip. We are also dedicated to being frugal on the way there and back, it just makes sense. When we went to my SIL's wedding in October we took a picnic lunch for the trip, we bought cereal, sandwich stuff for breakfasts and lunches and we were able to spend a weekend in Myrtle Beach for 500.00, this included gas there and back. Now we were treated to a very nice dinner at Joe's Crab Shack thanks to her husband's father, but we even had that money tucked back. Since dinner was taken care of the kids were able to be treated to a candy treat and an ice cream. So we are wanting to do this again, it takes the stress out of vacations, and why spend when you can have just as much fun being frugal?
