Where should you go?
On a mini vacation you don’t want to spend most of your time traveling, a popular idea is go somewhere close to your hometown, you will probably be surprised at just what is located within an easy driving distance from your home. Most people never take the time to see local attractions because of the thought that it will always be there.  This is also a great way to save some money on your mini vacation.  You can still get a motel and enjoy all the amenities that they offer. You may want to splash out and stay in a deluxe hotel, and enjoy being pampered. If money is extra tight then you can forgo the hotel, stay at home and drive out each day to your local attractions. In the evenings after you have been out and about, grab a movie and make ice-cream sundaes with the family and all curl up and watch a movie together. Want to venture a little further then look what’s around you within a 6 hour drive, pack your bags and go.
