$20 or more for tickets may be pricey, but these events are worth the splurge. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get tired of taking on the role of “family cruise director”. I plan family fun week after week, and it is often not appreciated and sometimes stressful. So, I’ve decided to choose quality over quantity. I’ve slowed down and started looking for special fun activities that will give us something to look forward to and create lasting memories.
Upcoming Splurge-Worthy Events
Sometimes we want to treat the kids and ourselves to an experience that may cost a bit more. Memories come in all shapes and sizes and prices. These $20+/pp events can be worth the expense with a little planning.
