While traveling during the holiday season, the last thing you want to think about is saving money…but it can be easier than you think. When our children were younger we would try to save money by packing sandwiches and snacks.  We’d find a nice shady spot to stop for lunch and have a picnic. The kids could stretch their legs and run off some of that energy kids seem to store up while traveling. One time we were next to a pasture with cattle grazing nearby. Another time we stopped to have lunch in a flower garden surrounded by tall date palms. Both times, lunch turned into a fun learning experience.
