Instead of going to Disney, etc. how about exploring your State Historical Society? Lots of AWESOME and extremely cheap things to do and see and LEARN.
I LOVE places like Villa Louis or Old World Wisconsin in my state. I’ll bet yours has something similar.
Or come here! We’d love you to spend $ in our Red-Leaning State! :)
