Our "Free" Family Trip

Yes I did say Free Family Trip. Darrick and I get bonus points for using our credit card. We usually save up points over a length of time and then Darrick and I take a trip. Last year we had saved enough points to take the kids to Florida...all expenses paid and this year we had enough to cash in for a trip to Disneyland.
All of us are feeling the effects of the economy right now, and with the business we are in.....the effects are really taking it's toll. We had checked to see how many points we had accumulated over the last year and were surprised to find we had enough to take a quick family trip. The kids are growing so quickly and the time is passing us by. We decided we would cash in our points once again and get away from the stress, the day to day business & work. Why not head to the "happiest place on earth" right? We had a great time with the kids and enjoyed every minute of our time away. We tried to go to the beach, but it was rainy and cold. Our family loves to visit the beach, but in the middle of Feb. it just isn't the same as it is in the summertime. We also got to celebrate Darrick and Nate's birthday while we were there. They got gift cards (from disney/ Free B-day day) to use while in the park and Nate got most of the money! haha. Darrick had enough on his card (after giving it all away) to buy a carmel apple, and if you look in the pictures, he again shared it with everyone. What a guy! We recommend using a credit card that earns you points so that you can enjoy a free trip with your family too.
