Try A One-Tank Getaway This Summer

June 22, 2022 by Martin Family Leave a Comment

If you enjoy this content, please share!

Gas prices have skyrocketed but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to sit home all summer. If you live near any of these cities, you can enjoy a one-tank getaway. One tank of gas, a few hours and you’re on your way to some summer fun!

Try These One-Tank Getaways This Summer

We were lucky enough to take a week long trip 12 hours away this year. Partly because we’d already booked it a year ago, and partly because we’d saved as much money as humanly possible the last year. Rising food and gas prices made that nearly impossible, but not totally. I hope you are able to take your planned summer trips this year, but if not, check out local areas! Day trips, overnight trips and even stay-cations can be so much fun. Even a little change is better than being cooped up all summer. If you can’t get to one of these destinations, look for fun things in and around your home town. If you can’t go, at all, try adding something fun to your own yard like a sprinkler or small swimming pool, a trampoline or fire pit. Decorate with fun beach themed decorations. There are TONS at the Dollar Tree (affiliate link). You can create a backyard oasis for less than $20!

If you are lucky enough to live nearby, check out these locations for some one-tank summer getaways this summer.
