We're thinking about hitting up the lake for a few days but my wife wants to stay local because of the costs. Honestly either way I'm just ready for a break. Work has been insane. Was thinking maybe a camping trip with the kids instead since that's way cheaper and they always go crazy for it. Let me know what you guys are up to, maybe I can steal some ideas.
Lake trips are awesome but I get it about staying local. With three kids, we found out the hard way that the drive time plus packing for everyone is half the vacation. Maybe do a day trip to the lake instead? Best of both worlds.
Getting out on the water with my son is always a win for me. But yeah, the costs add up quick. A long weekend at home with nothing on the schedule might be exactly what you all need anyway.
Honestly, staying local is underrated. Between juggling two kids in different schools, I can tell you that simple time together beats stressed-out travel every time. Lake or home, as long as you're unplugging that's what counts.
Staying local might actually be the move. Set up in the backyard, fire up the grill, let the kids run around. I'm doing something similar because my son is still too little for a full lake trip.

We're doing the lake thing too but honestly the logistics of getting everyone ready and packed is brutal. What lake are you thinking? We might be in the same area.
