Compare:

Movies out once per month for a family of four (2 adults, 2 children, plus snacks and parking fees):

$768 annually*

Monthly fun/education series at your local municipal park like this one:

Program cost: FREE or sliding scale, plus the cost of home packed lunch

Hi, I'm visiting from MBC. Great blog.

That's a really good comparison!! Thinking like that you can have more mini-vacations than you'd ever know =)

good grief! :^) well, that makes me feel bad about the movies, but we are outside a lot, too!

Rue said...

Well there is nothing wrong with the occasional movie Lori! Glad to hear you get outdoors too!

A friend just directed me to your website - it's great! I think sharing personal experiences really goes a long way toward "browning" our green spaces. Thanks.

You're right Jennifer -- the personal story is everything because there is no singular way to do things outdoors. And I love the inspiration I get from hearing a wide range of experiences. Thanks for stopping by, and do comment often!
