If you have been reading here long you know that our family travels on a regular basis. The usual standard of travel is to save money while enjoying the trip. This long weekend was a bit different in this aspect. We still travel on a budget, however it was much larger than most of our trips. the reason?  We only took snack foods and drinks, all meals were purchased. If you just want to see some cute pictures of our family, scroll down for a group of pictures

Here is our budget breakdown:

Hotel    $240.72  The hotel also placed a hold on $100 for a security deposit but that was returned on Tuesday
Gas       $120.00  This was 2 tanks of gas in the van. It is in addition to our regular monthly gas budget.
Food      $400.00.  Basically $100 a day. We came close to this everyday and the additional was spent for clothing.
Spending money $240.  We used the majority of this for purchasing clothes and other small treats while shopping.

Total budget amount $1000      Total spent $1200- the additional money will be deducted from clothing and additional regular gas money not spent.

On our food budget we enjoyed pizza, ice cream, daily breakfast, PF Changs, Olive Garden and Cheeseburger in Paradise.
