Awest, there's all kinds of fun to be had in the winter, but I budget for one fun thing a weekend -- in terms of money. It's a mix of bowling, the library, the local museums, the health club, sleepovers, sledding, the movies, Chuck E. Cheese, church.
This winter will be different just because we'll have our own house, rather than a townhouse with a crazy neighbor.
The big trip this winter will be Great Wolf Lodge for Christmas. They have MagiQuest there. I looked online and a one night stay is $190. We could get there at check in time Saturday, spend the rest of the day and night swimming and then check out the next day and spend the rest of the day swimming.
We'll also make at least one more trip in to Chicago. Probably in October before it gets too cold to take the Water Taxi.
I do have to plan ahead for summer though. I estimate I need to save at least $3,000 when you factor in summer camps, the extra cost to feed them since I'll have them for four weeks out of the 10.
