| find that, lately, things have been a bit tight. Even | | | | give your family the complete family vacation |
| though they're tight, with all the stress, you still need a | | | | experience, budgeted. Don't forget that you don't have |
| vacation. You have a tiny bit saved up, but you can't | | | | to do just the things on the list. You can also go to the |
| go far. What's a guy or gal to do? | | | | zoo and bring home stuffed animals (just like |
| 1. Camping | | | | souvenirs!) and key chains and all of that really cool |
