Meet the Solar Family

We challenged a family of five to take a fun vacation for under $2,500. Follow along with the Solars as they embark on new adventures and make more memories per getaway.

Meet the Solars. They’re a fun family of five from Kansas City — with a serious sense of adventure. We challenged Josh and Jenny to take their kids, Max, Ava and Lia on a memorable vacation on a budget of $2,500. Sounds pretty easy, right? Well, for the Solars, it is! Needless to say, they accepted our challenge and documented their travels for us here. Get to know them in this family video and be sure to read their adventure journal entries to get all of their tips and tricks for taking an economical family vacation.
