A summer vacation doesn't need to cost you a month's salary, but you'd be forgiven for thinking that it should. Between May and August, Instagram becomes a minefield of people you don't know sitting poolside at The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs or whatever. Suddenly, your Brooklyn staycation seems lacking.。

In moments like these, I ground myself with the knowledge that the best summer vacation I ever took cost very little and was focused on the singular goal of eating a slice of pie in every state in New England. 。SEE ALSO:The ultimate American BBQ road trip 。

For four days we drove across New England with a list of bakeries and not much else. In Connecticut, we ate towering lemon meringue slices. In Massachusetts, we bought a mixed berry pie with stars cut into the crust. We ate it straight from the tin on a nearby park bench. In Maine we had my favorite-- a slice of blueberry pie from Two Fat Cats Bakery that I still go back for whenever I'm in Portland. 。
In between pie slices, we'd park the car and walk around for hours, figuring out where where we'd sleep for the night (in a family member's house, a cheap Airbnb and a tent, to be specific).。
It was the most cost-effective vacation I've taken, and, in truth, the most memorable. And trust me when I say that you will have a better time spending money on gas and really good pie (or barbecue; or doughnuts; or french fries) than you will spending it on a hotel room you hardly hung out in. 。
