Plan a short day trip for you and your children. If you are within a couple hours driving distance of a metropolitan area, you have a wide variety of things from which to choose. You can plan a day at the park or zoo, visit museums or historic sites, attend festivals, parades, and other city events, visit science centers or other city attractions. Day trips are generally less expensive than overnight trips and involve less planning. And if you have room, invite another single parent family to join you and split the cost of the gas.
