Affordable vacation strategy

In my above comment, I said that we purchase T-shirts instead of those souvenirs, but I failed to mention that when the T=shirts get too small or are stained, I put them into a bag and when I get enough, they are used to make a quilt. My oldest, 10 yoa, has a new quilt that she uses in the RV made up of T-shirts we picked up during her first 8 years. When the youngest gets enough, we will do the same for her. I am going to assume that the 10 yoa will also have enough shirts by the time she leaves home to make at least one more quilt, but maybe two since her shirts now are much larger than they were at 2 and 3 years old. Most of those trips, she doesn't even remember, except we have pictures and she has a T-shirt.
