No-spend vacation

My vacation was a complete success. Besides barely costing 2 full tanks of gas (about $90), there were no tolls to be paid on my way down to NC that I wasn't aware of. My host family could not have been better, nicer, funnier or more accomodating. The graduation was on a gorgeous day, and the weather was really cooperating with us. I got to meet one of the aunts and her two adorable little monsters that were talking about how to kill things in a video game. I enjoy savvy children like that; very outspoken, and at least we can relate, since I'm a closet oldschool gamer.

I won't bore you with the details, but I got to meet a lot of their extended family, and we had too much fun. What did ol' little wild me do? We stayed up until 2am playing scary video games. I was sad to have to leave, but very happy to have been there. That's another state in my books! They're only 5 hours and two tanks of gas away, so perhaps I'll take them up on their offer and visit again...

They wouldn't let me spend any money. I know that makes me sound cheap, but I am glad I can put that money back into my account and pretty much pay off the gift I gave him. Also, he completely loved what we got him. Completely in love with it, so that's another success.

I have the wedding to go to this Saturday, then finalize my trip in July (havent bought the tickets yet... please go down already!), and I'll be done traveling for the year. And in good time, good company too. Overall, very content with how everything went.

I am so close to putting my accounts back in balance from the previous month's overages, so that's exciting on the financial front. I'll update on that tomorrow or so. Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend.
