| • Ogden, oasis for frugal, vacationing families |
| Being stationed at Hill Air Force Base is an outdoor adventurer's dream come true. Utah offers enough year-round adrenaline-pumping, awe-inspiring activities to satiate any vacationer's wishes.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that food costs rose by 5.8 percent last year, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects prices will increase by an extra 4 percent this year. Gas prices have risen 19 percent since last year, according to motorist group AAA's Web site. Yet, the White House recently released a statement opposing a Senate bill to give an extra 0.5 percent pay increase to military personnel in 2009. So, how is a military family expected to honor the American tradition of family vacations as cost of living prices outpace salary increases? |
