Summer is an exciting time, especially for kids just getting out of school. Traveling around is an enjoyable and popular way to spend the summer. While traveling is exciting, it can be extremely expensive and some people don’t always have money to escape for a couple weeks. However, travelling can be inexpensive if you stay close to home.
