Now is the time when families start to plan their trips for the summer. Some of the popular and more expensive places are Vegas and Disneyland. There are better options.On The Top 5 at 7:45, I'll highlight some other options that may be less expensive, more fun and less headache than going to Vegas or Disneyland.

  1. National Parks - We have Yellowstone and Grand Tetons, just to name a few her in Wyoming. Plan to spend a few days on a family trip to nature.
  2. A Caribbean Vacation - Many people do this. It is nice to really get away, hang out on the beach next to the water. You'll come back refreshed.
  3. A Skydiving Trip - You can head down to Colorado and take to the skies while sky diving.
  4. Train Ride - At times, a train goes from Denver to Cheyenne and you could be on it.
  5. Fishing Trips - Lots of lakes to camp out and go fishing with the family.
