Entry bubble Your Turn: Cheap Destinations

By: Editor | May 11, 2009 | Category: Travel

Our Monday blogger, Jake, has work duties that will take him away from Gov Gab until September. In his absence, we’re alternating between “Your Turn” weeks, where we’ll ask a question to spotlight your knowledge about government resources, and posts from guest bloggers across the government.

Many thanks to all who shared their favorite places to spend the day last week. In our continuing focus on cheap summer travel and getaways, we’re now wondering . . .

Today’s question: If someone came to visit you, what can’t-miss, inexpensive or free destination would you recommend? (Extra points if it’s somehow connected to the government!)

Entry bubble Your Turn: Cheap Day Trips

When I lived in Illinois, one of my favorite (and free!) places to spend the day was the Illinois and Michigan Canal, a state park that’s also a National Heritage Corridor administered by the National Park Service. The wide, flat paths, just a short drive from my house, were perfect for biking!

Today's question: What's your favorite government-owned or government-run place to spend the day?
