Welcome!

As a family of 6, one of which has Special Needs, it is important to find vacation spots that are enjoyable for all of us. Also, because we are a somewhat large family, on a single income, we are always looking for a cheap but fun getaway. We love to travel and enjoy seeing everything that God has given to us. We are so blessed that our children share the same passion.
Many of these getaways are tacked onto some other type of trip- both to save money and to make the most out of our time. I am all about being economical! The following posts will talk about places we have gone and the pros/cons of that trip in regards to cost, and ability to travel with my daughter.
It is important to know a bit about my daughter, though she has Cerebral Palsy and Dubowitz Syndrome, she is completely mobile. This is half the battle. She is very unsteady and independent, but lacks the cognitive ability to make choices or know safety measures. She is non-verbal, using ASL and an augmentative communication device (ACC).  Bone & cogitative development are about half of her actual age (she is currently 8 years old).
I hope that this helps if you are also a traveler as we are, likewise, I welcome comments about your experiences! We live in Mid-America, so most of our travels are to the east coast.

Boogie board, cornhole, 2 guitars, violin, 6 beach chairs, 2 full size duffel bags and a 66 qt Rubbermaid bin and Still room to see out the back!!! I ♥ my Toyota!
