Lodging: We are renting a house with several member of our family to same big!!! The 4,000 sq foot house we are renting has 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, a game room, a hot tub, and a big kitchen. This is only costing each family $475 for a week. The local Days Inn is $100 a night and our rental is so much better than a hotel room! Tip: To get a great house like this at a reasonable price we had to rent it 8 months ago.
Food: Since we are renting a house we have a kitchen and are only planning to eat out a few times. We are taking most of our food with us to help save money and eat healthy! We will also be packing food for the car trip. Each family is in charge of making dinner one night for everyone. This is a nice because I am only making dinner one night and can relax all the other nights-I am on vacation after all!!!
Childcare: To put two little ones in childcare while we went skiing would cost $150 a day (not that I would do that anyway)! By going on vacation with family members we are all taking turns watching the little ones so we can ski and go out at night!!!
