How To Have A Week Long Family Vacation for under $100:

Day #1: Go to the Zoo!




First, look at all the animals.
Then, find the funny statues and take pictures.



Next, play on the playground.


Finally, take fun pictures in the shells, eggs, and on the alligator.



Day #2: Go swimming!




Swim around in the water,



Practice your back float,



Show Macey the water, and finally, go down the BIG water slide!



Day #3: Go Downtown SLC!



See the pretty flowers, eat lunch at the Gateway, then play around in the fountains.



Next, go to the Planetarium!



Look at all the cool planets, see the spacemen, and walk on the moon!



Then, go to the Church History Museum!



Look at all the cool stuff, learn about pioneers,



and then FINALLY
wait back at the trax station for the train ride home.



Day #4: Go to the Castle Park!



Play on the playground and in the little village.



Pretend on the train, and wave hello from way up high!



Day #5: Go hiking!



First prepare for the hike and show the kids where you'll be going.
Meanwhile, feed hungry chipmunks crackers so they'll stop chirping.


Hike, hike, hike, up to the lake on top!



Get to the top and enjoy the view!



We did lots of other little things, mixed in with a little bit of work and Troy's summer work party, but over all we had lots of fun and all within a limited budget! We are finally home to rest!

looks and sounds like you had a great vacation to me, and saving money a major perk.
