When I first began to consistently add entries to my blog in December, my goal of eventually adding the 100th entry seemed a long, long way off. In fact, in the beginning I was sure the # 100 milestone was sure to elude me. Since then, that magic number has come and gone and to celebrate, I’m having a fun contest. One lucky reader will receive the Summer Fun Package- a selection of games and activities that my children and I have chosen specifically for this contest.

3. What is your best money saving travel tip?
If you don’t have a blog, simply leave a comment answering the above questions or send me an email at thetravelingpraters@gmail.com. Be sure to include your name and email address with your response.

Tonya -
I'm having so much fun following you guys on your blog so this seemed as good a time as any to comment! Cliff and I are hoping to get a camper in the next year or so. You can be a resource for us as an experienced RVer! On to the answers I guess...
1. I found your blog from your entries on Facebook.
2. Part of the reason we want to get an RV is to see more of the US, especially out west but so far one of our favorite US travel destinations is Sarasota, Florida.
3. Hmm...best money saving travel tip would have to be when traveling with a group have one person do the grocery shopping vs. everybody bringing something. It drastically reduces the grocery bill and you don't end up with 12 bags of Doritos!

Hi Tonya!
Still figuring all this FB stuff out, but looked at your page and saw I could be a follower :-) Yea...
Your blog is so cool--maybe one day....:-)
What a neat contest--how fun!
1--I got your blog info from you :-)
2--Favorite travel destination--Probably Durango, Colorado. The mountains are just beautiful and what a fun town!
3--Money saving tip--If you plan on eating in most of the time, like we do, have a meal plan. You will not only save money (because you won't be running to the grocery and you won't be throwing much away since you buy just what you need), you will also be able to relax knowing that you don't have to stress over dinner during vacation!

I heard about your blog through your email.
Our favorite destination right now is Virginia Beach. So beautiful and so relaxing,
My favorite travel tip is: go to your destination website and ask them to send you coupons and info about your destination. We saved on Aquarium tickets, meals, hotel, everything! Hope this helps. Love your blog!

Hi, Tonya! We enjoyed your visit to Waycross, GA so much the kids are already asking when you will be back!
Tonya & I went to school together & we are still best friends even though we don't get to see each other very often. Her family recently visited my family in South Georgia & it was great seeing her again.
Our favorite vacation destination is Pigeon Forge, TN...hopefully our house will sell soon & we will be moving there!
I don't really have a good vacation tip although I do a lot of baking & packing snacks before we go so that I can take snacks with us & we don't have to pick up candy bars, etc. while we are there. Our favorite "Mix" is Cheerios, fruit loops, M&M's, Skittles, peanuts, Cheese Its all mixed together in a bag to snack on while we are on the road.
I love keeping up with your family on your blog it feels like we are closer to each other!
