Great Tips for Family Trips

Family Trip Tip:  Go away, but don't "go away".  Stay at a local hotel overnight or over a weekend.  Just don't tell the kids. Trick the kids?  Well, maybe I am not the worlds greatest dad, but if you ask my kids, they will say otherwise.  Unless I won't ...

TIP:  Traveling with more than 4?  Stay in a suites hotel instead of getting 2 rooms and save money. I remember the original "Bad News Bears" movie.  The team all stayed in one small motel room with two double beds.  Those days of sneaking are all but gone for most families, but what do you do if you are traveling with 5 or more? We have a family of 5, my wife and I and the 3 little horned ones.  They can't even get along in the same house with their own bedrooms never mind the same cramped hotel room.  The laws these days prevent many hotels from allowing more than 4 people to occupy a room.  (Some larger hotels and rooms do allow it)  So what do you do when your group can't fit in a Volkswagen?
