See Arkansas on a budget

After living in Arkansas for more than 20 years, I've visited almost every inch. During most of those visits, my children were in tow. Traveling with children gets expensive, so I try to find ways to stay on budget. Below are some tips to save money during your Arkansas travels.

1. Plan your trips in advance. Order a vacation kit from the Arkansas Tourism Web site. This will detail all the fun things you and your family

2. Choose hotels or cabins with kitchens. This may cost a little bit more for your lodging, but it can save bundles on meals. Even if you just have a microwave and a refrigerator, you can visit the grocery store and purchase sandwich fixings, fruit and drinks. For a list of Arkansas hotels, visit the Arkansas Tourism site.

3. Allow your children to have fun. While you're in a new town, visit parks, historical sites or take them to the local fire station. The firemen will be happy to show them around and allow them to sit on the fire truck.

4. Check out the state's calendar of events. Many times festivals and events can be inexpensive and sometimes free. Arkansas Travel has an updated calendar.

Arkansas is full of exciting places to visit. I will detail locations in future articles that will help you decide where you and your family can have a fun vacation without spending a lot of money.
