Are you broke? Well, that doesn’t mean you have to sit home this holiday weekend! Here’s a list of things you can do that are completely and totally free. Gratis. No charge. Libre. (OK, I’m out of synonyms now.)
I’m trying to decide where I will take my kids. I want to go to an art museum, but my 12-year-old son is acting like that’s a fate worse than death.
On the other hand, that’s how he behaved before we went to the Nixon library, and he loved it there. So if there’s an art museum that also has a presidential helicopter, he’d be there in a flash.
