When the elementary school attended by my youngest daughter Amy planned a school trip to Colonial Williamsburg over spring break, we quickly calculated that for the same price as her four day trip, Julie and I could fly to the east coast with Amy and our son Jay to tour the area on our own. 
As long as 
we were in the vicinity, we swept through Boston, Philadelphia, Gettysburg and other famous sites before boarding a cruise on the old Pacific Princess from New York. 
Okay, it ended up costing a little more, but it was a great trip.
