Frog Prince and I just returned from a 6 day vacation, and it was wonderful. I had a little guessing game over on my Facebook Page to see who could figure out where we went!
In case you missed it:
Clue #1 – {taken at Seney National Wildlife Refuge, Seney, Michigan}
Clue #2 – {taken at Whitefish Point, Lake Superior; Michigan}
Clue #3 – {taken at Tahquamenon Falls, near Paradise, Michigan}
Clue #4 - {taken at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, near Munising, Michigan}
I loved hearing your guesses – everything from Alaska & Washington to Louisiana & California! Of course, a few of you narrowed it down to the Great Lakes … and you were right.
The trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the “U.P.”) was fantastic! The weather was perfect and the company was even better.
We met up with 3 of our closest couple friends from grad school. We’ve grown a bit since then, and have started our “big people jobs”, but we picked up just like it was yesterday.
Being away for 6 days can become quite expensive:
- Breakfast for 6 days, at a minimum of $3 per person = $18
- Lunch for 6 days, at a minimum of $5 per person = $30
- Dinner for 6 days, at a minimum of $10 per person = $60
- Desserts/snacks/drinks for 6 days, at a minimum of $5 per person = $30
- Total: $138 per person
This would have cost Frog Prince and I $276.00 at a minimum for a 6 day vacation.
Yikes.
But, we did it for $25 per person!
And I’m going to tell you how.
