The key to a good daytrip is that it doesn't cost a lot of money. With unemployment and tight purses, few families can afford to take expensive vacations these days.

Ironically, the spike in gas prices is very close to most spring breaks throughout the country.
Let me hear from you -- how are you dealing with the high cost of gas? Are you still taking a spring break?
