Looking to take your family on a killer vacation this summer, but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg doing it? We’ve got you covered with these ideal spots for summer travel. You’ll be relaxing in style without breaking the bank.
The Grand Canyon
It’s difficult to find cheaper accommodation than just pitching your own tent. Luckily, that is the best way to see the Grand Canyon. Peep your head out of your tent in the early morning for a sunrise unlike any other you’ll see. Your kids will never forget it.
San Antonio
Looking to experience the adage that everything is bigger in Texas without including the price in that experience? Check out San Antonio, which is far more affordable than other Texas cities like Dallas and Houston. Between the Alamo and the River Walk, there is plenty to do and history to teach your children, and you can stay at one of the least expensive members of the Luxury Collection portfolio, the St. Anthony.
