Camping Meals – 4-Day Family Menu Plan - December 12, 2011 by admin

A family camping menu should be:
Easy and quick to prepare.
Requires only a few ingredients and
Those ingredients are easy to store at camp (not prone to spilling, spoiling, space-hogging).

Here is our family’s 4-Day Camping menu plan. We have tweaked it over the years and I’m sure you will tweak it some more for your family’s style and needs.

4-Day Camping Food Menu Plan

1st Night: Lloyds BBQ Ribs, corn, coleslaw and potato salad

Wrap ribs in heavy-duty foil, heat, open a can of corn and serve with ready-made coleslaw and potato salad. First night is celebration night. You’ve put up the tent, you’ve build a campfire, you’ve unpacked your gear. So kick back and relax. By the way, Costco is my favorite place to get a big tub of potato salad and coleslaw.

Fun Family Vacations On A Budget - December 3, 2011 by admin

Just a few years ago, indulgent trips around the world were all the rage. Now that times have tightened economically, more people are planning their family vacations on a budget. Now, people are brought together once again for memory making trips that last a lifetime. Many family vacation ideas are just a short trip away. Here are five locations representing both coasts of the United States and somewhere in between.

The Florida Panhandle

Just north of beautiful white-sand beaches, pretty Pensacola is the home of sunshine all year-long. The City of Five Flags, as Pensacola is known, attracts beach and seafood lovers to annual crawfish festivals and musical fairs. A naval museum, which opened in 1962, is ideal for visitors interested in military history and modern aircraft. The museum itself is an all-day experience, with interactive displays and live exhibitions. Families can stay in various low-cost accommodations, some even located across the state line in neighboring Alabama.
