We had the idea on Monday to visit Birmingham, AL this weekend but then scratched the idea when Disney rooms went on sale and we booked a trip there for the following weekend. Wanting to save my limited funds for the upcoming Disney trip, I thought that the Alabama trip might stretch me a bit to thin.. But, my wanderlust came back and we decided yesterday to go ahead and head to Birmingham this weekend.
This is just going to be a day trip.. and a short one at that. We only have about four hours in town. We have an extra tight budget set for this trip. Hoping to get there and back for $75 - 80.
You have to be flexible when flying standby with two children (ages 9 & 11) but I look at each trip as an adventure and some times just getting there (and back) is the biggest part of the trip. We fly free - thanks to my husband working for an airline - and we travel on a budget, often taking our own food and forgoing souveniers. We sometimes plan and sometimes wing it but we always manage to have fun.
Our Goal:
OUR GOAL: Visit fifty states within the next two years. (edited: We missed our two year deadline but still hope to visit all 50 states)
The Rules: States we visit or where we have already visited as a family (three or more members) count. States visited by only one or two family members (such as a business trip) don't count.
Layovers and stopovers don't count. We have to actually either drive though a state or do some activity, outside of the airport, in that state.
