Now that we’ve returned from Scandinavia - more to come on that soon! - we’re setting our sights on planning our upcoming anniversary trip. This encouraged me to actually log our expenses from our 2022 anniversary trip to Toronto, Canada. We dug deep into our credit card statements, and I was finally able to recycle the receipts. Here’s how our costs broke down, and approximately what we’d plan to budget for our 2023 anniversary trip.

Having a toddler has definitely forced us to get creative with our weekend plans, and we've uncovered some awesome new places in the process. Here are a few from just this past month...

I can hardly believe that we are leaving for Scandinavia this month! When we went to New Zealand in November, we had the luxury of being there for close to two weeks, so we were able to space out a lot of our activities. That is definitely not the case for this trip.

As you know, we try to support small businesses and eat local. This was easy to do when we lived in St. Pete, as it has a very local-driven culture.
