Spring has sprung and with the warm sunny days and cloudless blue skies, spring fever is running rampant. It's hard enough these days to get time off from work, let alone plan a getaway that won't gouge the ol' bank account. With gas prices and air fare steadily climbing, it only makes sense to set your vacation sights a little closer to home. So where do you go on so little dough?
Chattanooga, of course! Located just about two hours from Knoxville, Atlanta, Huntsville, or Nashville, Chattanooga is the perfect gas saving destination. Downtown Chattanooga alone boasts more than a dozen hotels ranging from full-service (complete with indoor pools and spa services) to the uber budget friendly limited service chains offering perks like complimentary breakfast and free parking. For those looking for a luxury experience at a less than luxurious price, it pays to check out weekend rates. For most of the larger hotels in downtown Chattanooga, Monday through Friday business travel is their bread and butter. Oftentimes, this results in much lower occupancy on the weekends and cheaper rates. It's also a great idea to check out discount websites for great deals. Just remember- you can't always choose a specific hotel on these sights, so be prepared for a bit of mystery.
Once you've made accommodations and you're on your way, what is there to do in Chattanooga on a shoe string budget? Plenty! Chattanooga comes alive in the spring and summer and puts on quite a show. Throughout the summer, Chattanooga is home to free outdoor concerts, farmer's markets, and block parties all of which fit easily into even the tiniest budgets. This weekend plays host to the eleventh annual 4 Bridges Art Festival held at the First Tennessee Pavilion. This festival brings local and regional artists together with collectors, enthusiasts, and students. The best part for the budget traveler? The price. "The essential to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our thoughts. Considering and spending our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Curbing expending and costs, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievements and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind economizing money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal funds is incredibly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel charge!..". Admission to the festival is only $10 for a two-day pass, and everyone 18 and under is FREE.
If you're in the mood for an even cheaper way to enjoy some springtime sun check out the truly unique Bug-a-Paluza, held Friday, April 15, through Sunday, April 17, at Camp Jordan in East Ridge, TN. Bug-a-Paluza is a fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House Charities and the entry fee is just $4 per person, with kids 12 and under FREE.
Stay tuned for more awesome (and cheap!) ways to have a blast in hip and historic Chattanooga, TN.
