Vacation Week Found Money $2.89 Plus a Euro Cent

I went on vacation for a week with my sisters to Alabama with a side trip through Mississippi to New Orleans, Louisiana. Such fun! 

During the week, I found $2.89. Here's the breakdown:

• 6 quarters ($1.50)
• 9 dimes ($.90)
• 2 nickels ($.10)
• 39 pennies ($.39)

Here's where I found the money:

• at four different airports
• on one airplane
• at the rental house where we stayed in Alabama
• at the courtyard/poolside at the hotel where we stayed while in New Orleans
• in a fast food parking lot and drive through lane
• at a couple of gas stations
• many pennies on sidewalks in the French Quarter in New Orleans
• near vending machines at a rest area
• at a streetcar stop in New Orleans
• in the street

I also found a Euro cent (penny) at the Atlanta airport. That's the first one of those I've seen. Very cool!

Here's what I found each day:

• Sunday, May 25:  92 cents
• Tuesday, May 27:  49 cents
• Wednesday, May 28:  44 cents
• Thursday, May 29:  2 cents
• Saturday, May 31:  $1.02 and 1 Euro cent

My sisters all found some money, too. And sometimes we scrambled for it. Love that!

As you can see by the photo, I didn't get around to writing and mailing postcards while on vacation. I'll write a few and mail them this week.
