We Took the Same Low-Key, Budget-Friendly Family Trip for 8 Summers ...
The author said her three children ended up growing up in Vermont on their low-key, budget-friendly family vacations to the same location. Courtesy of Jaclyn Greenberg. 2026-04-19T13:08:01.237Z Traveling with three small kids felt a bit daunting, so we took an easy-to-manage trip to Vermont. My family enjoyed it so much, we returned to the same spot every summer for 8 years. Those low-cost rips made it easy for us to get away, and gave us memories to last a lifetime. When my kids were 5, 3, and 18 months old, we took one of our first family vacations together. Back then, traveling with three little kids, including one with severe disabilities, seemed daunting. But I was desperate to get out of the house and away from our stressful routine, which included numerous doctor and therapy appointments for my disabled son. When a family friend offered us his townhouse in South Burlington, Vermont, I took him up on the offer, especially since the low cost made me feel less pressured to plan the perfect vacation.We drove from our home on the East Coast and stocked the fridge with groceries from Trader Joe's.

The following year, we rented paddleboards at the same lake, and the year after that, we all went kayaking. We took lengthy bike rides on the waterfront by Lake Champlain and hunted for waterfalls all over the state. One year, after I got the kids their first passports, we drove to Montreal for two nights so the kids could experience a new country. The author said her family, shown here exploring a waterfall, made a longer list of must-do activities each year they visited Vermont. Courtesy of Jaclyn Greenberg. We consistently visited Vermont during the third week of August, right before everyone went back to school, so we could escape before life got hectic. Each year, the drive along Route 22a in Vermont brought regular vie...
