Your vacation sounds like a lot of fun. You definitely don't have to spend a lot to have fun and see new things.
I had an interesting experience this morning. I go to work after my youngest walks 2 houses to the bus stop. She is 12, so she doesn't want me walking with her. After the bus came, I was just about to leave when there was a knock on the door.
It was a man I did not know, and he was wearing a uniform for a local "Port-A-Potty" company. I just opened the door a crack, and he could see our big dog right there to protect me.
He told me he was driving down the street and saw some money in the street, and he had just seen the bus pick up the kids so he thought it was probably some kid's lunch money. He went to the neighbor's house first, and they told him we had school aged kids.
My daughter had taken 4 dollar bills today: 2 for a school lock fee, and 2 for her lunch. I asked him if it was 4 dollars, and he smiled and handed it to me. He said he wouldn't want one of his kids to go without lunch, so that's why he did what he did. I thanked him and told him I would drop the money off at her school on my way to work.
My daughter usually brings lunch, but occasionally she asks for permission to buy lunch. Today was that special day. What a Good Samaritan.
