This weekend, my friend H. and I took a road trip to Branson, Missouri. I had budgeted $200 for the trip and came home with money to spare, which is always a nice thing. ;) Here's the financial break down:
* Hotel stay $45
* Silver Dollar City $48
* Dinner at Applebee's $10
* Breakfast at hotel restaurant FREE (and delicious)
* Mystery of the Nile at the IMAX $10
* Bottle of water $2
* Coldstone Creamery (I had coupons but I forgot them. Grr!) $5
* Dunkin Donuts eclairs $5
* Shopping (I only purchased a green croc print headband!) $4
* Gas money $20
Everything was well worth the money except for the Coldstone. I maintain that Dairy Queen Blizzards are better (and cheaper!). I also was not that impressed with Applebee's, but it was 10pm and we were hungry. It was so nice to get away for a little while and relax. I can see easy ways that I could have cut costs here (shopping around for hotel rates, taking bottled water and dinner for the first night) but that was not the objective for this trip. In the future, I would like to plan a vacation to see how frugally I can do it. Yep, that's my idea of fun! Overall, we had a great time and the shopping, SDC, and IMAX were all very much worth the money.
