Yesterday was a fine day. My kids drove south for 20 minutes and we drove north for 20 minutes. We all met at a car show. Perfect weather to wander around and look at over 1000 various cars. Meeting at a place like that saved us all driving time and gas money. I was thrilled to spend the day with my husband and kids. I will have find more free events in the same area for future outings.
Try open houses - a lot are free during the holidays. My youngest daughter's mother in law raised 7 kids - they looked for business that were giving out free popcorn and stuff - doesn't hurt to go look around, get free food and catch up on all the latest gossip with the rest of the family.

We do this my brother and his wife all the time. Only the ride for each of us is 2 hours! But, it means seeing each other a lot more often since a 2 hour ride is manageable, but a 4 hour ride usually means making arrangement to spend the weekend.
