Summer vacation 2023 comes to a close at 6:30 pm, Sunday August 6th – ten days after leaving on Friday July 28th at 9 AM.

It was a great trip, probably my favorite summer vacation of all times. While I didn’t travel as far as some years, my days were filled with smaller adventures from 6 AM to 11 PM.

Ultimately if you subtract out ordinary and existing costs, my vacation cost only about $300, about $200 was fuel the other hundred was ice cream, half case of beer, propane and miscellaneous supplies like paper towels. Of course I spent like $125 between groceries and farm stands but over a ten day period that would have likely gotten spent even if I stayed home.
