One of the best things about our small family is that we stick together through thick and thin.  Over the course of the last year, our finances haven’t been so great and therefore we had to sacrifice some things in our lives – but no one complained.

But things have turned around over the course of the last three months or so and I think it is time that I reward the rest of my family with a treat – I think it is time that we took a little vacation.

I know that both of my kids love coastal activities and could spend days near the water, so I have decided that is where I am going to take them.  I found the perfect place that has cheap accommodations and will give us the break we need without breaking the bank.

But before I tell them, I want to plan out the trip a little bit, and put together a list of places we should visit.  I also have found a beach guide that has all the details on the best beaches in the area.  I know my kids will think I am a bit of a control freak, but I just like to know where things are before we go – there is nothing wrong with that, right?

Needless to say, I am sure that they will be happy and we will do well having a break – we all deserve it.
