Summer is coming, which means it is time to start thinking about summer vacation! I know it can be a little scary to plan a vacation as a single parent, but it doesn’t have to be.

4 Affordable Family Vacations

Summer is coming, which means it is time to start thinking about summer vacation! I know it can be a little scary to plan a vacation as a single parent, but it doesn’t have to be.

One of the best ways to make it easier is to use a travel agent. Using a travel agent means you can take a break from some of the planning and focus on the best part: having fun on the vacation!

Get Away Today is a family-oriented travel agency that is perfect for your next trip. Not only will they be able to offer you the best prices, but they’ll help you plan and share all their tips and tricks. Plus, you can save even more by using promo code 2Bloom for an additional $10 off your Southern California vacation package.

The next tip for your upcoming summer vacation is to visit a tried-and-true family destination. There are so many great places to take your kids, but I’ve managed to narrow it down to the top four.

Not only are these summer vacation spots family friendly, they’re budget friendly too:

Disneyland in Anaheim, is one of the best vacation spots of all time. The magic, the rides and the yummy food are all you could ever ask for. Just imagine your kids meeting their favorite characters for the first time or being awed by the fireworks above the castle.

There’s a reason this park is known as the Happiest Place on Earth. The park is a bit more expensive than others in the area, but completely worth it. With a little bit of saving and planning, any family can go to Disneyland!

Hollywood is another great family destination. It’s home to many attractions like the Walk of Fame, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and Universal Studios Hollywood.

Hollywood is another great family destination. It’s home to many attractions like the Walk of Fame, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and Universal Studios Hollywood. Universal Studios is a great park if your kids love all things movies.

With the new addition of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you can try your hand at casting spells as well as travel to Jurassic Park, see the Transformers in action, take a break with the minions in Super Silly Fun Land or ride with the crew from Fast and Furious. It’s a fun destination that can easily be added on to an Anaheim trip.

Located right between Anaheim and San Diego, Carlsbad is the home to LEGOLAND California. This is a fantastic spot to visit, especially if you have younger kids.

Located right between Anaheim and San Diego, Carlsbad is the home to LEGOLAND California. This is a fantastic spot to visit, especially if you have younger kids. They will be able to explore Miniland USA and test their ninja skills in LEGO NINJAGO World, all while eating some legendary Apple Fries- unique to the park.

You can even stay on-site at the LEGOLAND Hotel to be as close as possible. Your family will have a blast rocking out to “Everything is Awesome” in the elevators and falling asleep in a LEGO-themed room!

Only a few hours south from Anaheim, you’ll find all the animals in San Diego. With places to visit like Sea World San Diego, the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, the animal lovers in your family will be thrilled during the whole trip!

San Diego is also home to some of the best beaches in the USA, making it the perfect spot for a weekend getaway with your kids.

    I haven’t been to California for vacation yet, but this post is making me want to change that really quick! I’ve been to Disney World and Universal in Orlando {and I’m actually headed there next week again}, but I’d love to explore the different parks in California one day!
