Well our hiking trip over the weekend was a huge bust – more on that in another post. Because of that, we ended up car camping and touring (driving) a whole bunch more than we had originally planned. Gas was costly, especially because we were in BF’s Jeep due to the ridiculously sketchy roads we drove on.

What saved me was extra income that I was able to make this week. But even then, we could have cut back a TON on our spending. Friday we didn’t have to spend all that money on dinner and dessert – but it was so hot that neither of us wanted to cook dinner so we opted to buy sushi from an Asian grocery store.

Because of all this spending, we’ve decided not to go to the Bryan Adams/Beach Boys concert on Saturday. I can’t justify spending $100 for both of our tickets, when we basically spent all that money over the weekend on our road trip.
