Fun Summer Activities: Spending Time With Our Friends Up North.

Our family vacations usually consisted of an awesome seven day summer or winter cruises. While working full time limited taking vacations in other seasons of the year, it provided us with an opportunity to splurge on these family gateways. Now that I am a full time student, this impacts restrictions in various fun summer family activities. Although, this situation saddens me, it will not impede coordinating our resources for vacationing or outings as all we need is bit of strategic planning. As it turns out, this year our eldest son is moving to middle school and also turning eleven. As per his request, all he wanted for his elementary graduation & birthday, was to spend time with his friends and family on a quick escape.

Fun Summer Activities: Spending Time With Our Friends Up North.

Fortunately for our budget, earlier this month our good friends graciously invited us to spend time with them at their Orlando Villa. As soon as the invite was received, I quickly focused and implemented steps to make this trip a reality. The first call of action was to acquired their itinerary for accommodations, meals, and activities. To my surprise, their villa is fully equipped with a full size kitchen allowing cooking capabilities, a private separate guest bedroom with accompanying bathroom and onsite complimentary activities. Our second step was to created a daily meal menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and to shop for the necessary grocery items. And as we all know, by cooking yourself saves a ton of money, which left us to figure out paying for gas and highway tolls. Thirdly, by switching phone plans to the affordable Walmart Family Mobile saved us the extra dollars we needed to get to Orlando from Miami.

Did you know that Walmart Family Mobile service is $29.88/month, (for the first line), the Lowest Priced Unlimited Talk, Unlimited Text, Unlimited Data and Unlimited Web Walmart Best Plans which includes up to 1G of 4G LTE data? Walmart Family Mobile not only saves me money on my monthly service, but it also saves me money on their amazing cell phone devices. For example: my new ZTE ZMAX, originally priced at $199.88, and now available on rollback for $179.88. While shopping at my local Walmart for all the supplies we needed for our trip, it turns out that the ZTE ZMAX was actually priced at $149.00. That savings alone allowed us extra cash for our trip. By the way, Walmart also carries well priced cell phones such as:

• ZTE Zinger – $29.88 starting
• Galaxy Avant – $149.00 (was $199.99)
• ZTE ZMAX – $179.00 (was $199.88)
• Alcatel Fierce 2 – $99.88 (was $129.99)
• Alcatel Evolve 2 – $34.83 (was $59.88)
• LG 450- $29.88
• Alcatel One Touch Pop Astro- $64.88
• LG Leon LTE: $99.82

With great enthusiasm, I am happy to announced that, I was recently chosen as a new Walmart Family Mobile Digital Brand Ambassador. With this privileged honor, I look forward to representing the brand this summer and bringing you informative content.

As a result of our planning efforts and switching our cell phone services, this past weekend I gathered the family and headed out to Orlando, with a full tank of gas, a trunk full of groceries and an over excitedly atmosphere. From the images above, our friends and family had a great time enjoying the facilities’ activities, poolside, and the sunny Florida weather.
