Vacation Found Money-- $1.82 in 2 Weeks

I just went on vacation to Illinois then drove to the east coast with two sisters. Along my travels I found money, of course!

In total I found $1.82:  4 quarters, 3 dimes, and 52 pennies.

I didn't write down all the places where I found this money but I traveled through 14 states and I found money in most of them.

I also found some miscellaneous stuff that I added to my little snack size bag. Particularly cute are the mini clothespin and a silver charm that reads "Life is tough but I am tougher."

Here is a photo of Liberty Enlightening the World (the Statue of Liberty's real name) from the ferry leaving Liberty Island after we'd visited her.

Have you found any money recently?

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

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.
