Staycation Report
I just ran the numbers for our “staycation,” and we came in at $999.37 - $0.64 under budget!
While $1,000 might seem a little steep considering we didn’t have to travel a long distance or pay for lodging, we were definitely able to enjoy ourselves for less than the price of a typical vacation (last year’s trip to Florida was $2,662).
I must admit that it’s hard to enjoy yourself when you’re so used to being frugal, but I’m pretty sure I could get used to it… I mean, eating out nearly every meal, visiting all the attractions, ordering a glass of wine with my dinner, not sitting in the nosebleed section at the baseball stadium and theatre… oops, back to reality!
I’ll post some pictures once Snapfish develops the film I mailed in (I can justify a “staycation,” but still can’t get over one-hour photo developing costs! Some day I’ll have enough money for that Canon Digital Rebel XTi…)
