Planning trips is almost as fun as the actual trip for me! Most families are just starting to plan out there summer vacation plans. I am excited to follow along as Brandy Coupons her way to Six Flags!
Its that time of the year again, time to plan summer vacations! This year we where planning on doing a cheap vacation so that we can save more to go back to Walt Disney World (the picture above is from last May at Walt Disney World). I wasn’t really sure what we where going to do this summer. Until, my daughter brought home information about a band trip to Six Flags. All 7th and 8th grade band students in my district go on a trip to Six Flags at the end of the year. I am not comfortable with letting my 13 year old roam freely for a day at Six Flags. We have decided to go on the trip with her. I will be using my Swagbucks earnings to pay for this trip!
Six Flags has a new yearly membership deal at a very affordable rate. You pay monthly payments of $6.99 for 1-3 people or more per month for the whole year. That allows you free parking, entrance into any of the outdoor North American parks, 20% discount on almost all merchandise as well as many other great perks. We think we can get a few uses out of the passes. We have 2 Six Flags in Texas to choose from. Since it comes out in monthly payments, I will just pay it every month from my SB earnings. I am not including it in my breakdown of money needed for this trip.
We will drive up to San Antonio on the Friday before the schedule band day trip. We should arrive early and give us Friday afternoon at Six Flags. Then on Saturday morning my daughter has a band performance, then on to Six Flags! I will stay again Saturday night in a hotel and drive home on Sunday. Every week I will be sharing my progress. Below is the breakdown of how much money is needed.
Gas – $120.00
Food -$250.00
Hotel for 2 nights – $374.94
Total: $744.94
(Thanks, Brandy)
