We spend almost all of our discretionary income (which is not very much at present) on somewhat short trips (gas, a rather nice tent, motel rooms, fast food, will probably need sleeping bags), though there are a few hundred dollars a year going to digital entertainment, art supplies, and children's toys. This is probably something like 5% of the budget, but I haven't been keeping track as much as would probably be wise.

What kinds of short trips? Camping or just to random places?

Rentals in various mountains, near impressive natural areas, places with cliffs and waterfalls and sand dunes and cactus forests. We'd like to go camping more, and have a nice tent, but the toddler isn't able to use blankets yet. There are extra warm sleep sacks, but those are too expensive for what they are. Then, when she can use blankets, she'll be potty training, which is also difficult for camping, so we'll see how things progress. So far we've been tent camping one night, and have plans for another night this summer.
