Introduction:
Congratulations!  You have made it to the final round of a 5th grade math competition!  If you win, you will be awarded a $7,000 "dream" vacation to the state of your choice.  In order to win, you need to create the best 5th grade family trip!  

The Task:
Your task is to use your math and research skills to create a budget (plan for the money) for your and your family for this week long vacation!  Some of the items you will budget for include airfare, transportation, hotel accommodations, food costs, and daily entertainment.  You will need to be able to sell your trip to the judges as educational, fun, well-organized, and within $100 of budget allowances.
