We've really become VERY good at maximizing credit card sign on bonuses, hotel nights, and credit card rewards.
This year we're going to Great Wolf Lodge on Spring Break, a 10-day trip to Disneyworld, a week of camp, and a trip to New York!
Our kids are 4, 1 (turning 2), and 7 (turning 8).
Now that we have this year's trips paid off, I'm looking to next year. Where should we go? We did a cruise last year, but I'm not sure I want to do another one. I don't know what else is out there, but I do know I want to make memories with my children!
Got to Seattle. That is what I did with my churning. Fly free to Seattle airport, stay on points at the Radisson across the st from the airport. Walk the 2 short blocks to the train into downtown. Its fantastic. Tons to do, hands down the BEST aquarium we have ever visited. My child never wanted to leave the touch tanks!
Other other favorite trip was flying into Brownsville TX and spending the week at South Padre. There are so many chain hotels you can skip around and maximize nights if you want to. We visited the Sea Turtle Rescue, DD learned to surf and we just had a great time hanging out as a family.
And for Florida again we have just hung out at Clearwater Beach. Visited Winter at the Aquarium, hit the Tampa zoo. Tons of chain hotels again to redeem.
Or pick that one place that sounds amazing and just go. I used free hotel nights to work out a road trip to the Apostle Island Ice Caves. They were amazing and I am so glad I went. We had to pay for gas and food but so worth the 10 hour drive!
