I recently took a trip with my sister and four children to a water park for 2 nights and 2 days. We spent less than $400 for the entire trip, including $50 for gas. We were able to use hotel reward points to get one night free. We also packed a cooler with food, bread, and snacks that could be heated up in the microwave (such as Kraft mac-n-cheese cups). We could have spent less, but we wanted to eat out once a day. Honestly, it would have been a hassle to eat out more than that. It was nice to be able to run to the room and eat instead of drying off, changing clothes, and driving somewhere. Another way we saved was by staying in the same room. Instead of booking separate rooms, we booked a room that would sleep six. It was actually nicer this way because when one of us needed to shower or take a nap the other could watch the children. Of course, the children loved it because it was like a sleep over.
