It is our family tradition to spend a weekend in Branson, Missouri during the Christmas Holidays. This year while planning our trip, I was lucky enough to come across a livingsocial.com deal for a two-night stay at the Castle Rock Resort. I love a good deal and you don't get much better than a free night at a resort and during the peak holiday season to boot.
The Castle Rock Resort is located on Green Mountain Drive, not far from Branson's strip. The resort's major draw is the year-round indoor waterpark. The park features two water slides, a lazy river and some really cute toddler play areas. My girls were in Hog Heaven! Many of the hotel rooms also feature a bunk-room with a set of bunk beds and an extra TV just for the kids. Again, my girls loved it!
Now, I'm not going to lie to you and tell you it's four-star accommodations but it's a nice enough room, a convenient water park with attentive life-guards, and an onsite restaurant with reasonable prices. If you're looking for a fun place to stay with kids, it's great.
Tip: Before you purchase a travel deal a discount website like livingsocial make sure you read it carefully and check for restrictions and black-out dates. You don't want to spend your money and then find that the voucher can only be used on the second Tuesday of May 2022.

Not Just Another Travel Blog
I LOVE to travel! I first acquired the travel bug when I went on my first trip to Washington D.C. as an eighth grader. After I got married, my husband and I took every opportunity to travel together. Now as a mother of two, I want my children to have the opportunity to see places and experience things that I never got to.
So, now that I'm a stay-at-home mom, it's more important than ever for me to use every trick and tip to save money while planning our vacations. One of my favorite things about travel is the research. I know, I know. This is usually everyone's least favorite part of vacation planning. But I love to look at all the options, find the best deals, and save every penny while still planning the best vacation possible.
NOW, I'm sharing all our fun trips and cost saving tips with you. And these trips will NOT be from the perspective of the swinging 60 or the stylish 20-something. We are a real family with a real one-income budget. I hope that my cost-cutting tips and our fun family travels inspire you to plan your own fun family vacations.
