This could very well be one of the most expensive weekends I’ve had this year. Although half the week I spent in San Francisco, and those expenses won’t actually reflect in my monthly budget recap because that money will come out of my Travel Fund instead. So I don’t feel too bad about it.
I also bought 2 tickets to go see Ryan Adams in Seattle with Nic (October). But, I do anticipate selling the tickets that I bought, and upgrading to better seats once some good ones come up on StubHub. So, that $75 expense should end up being a lot more once it’s all said and done. Call me crazy, but it’s worth it. Ryan Adams is just that good.
Over the weekend, a friend from Toronto was in town to visit. We drove to Squamish and hiked the Chief, then we went downtown for dinner at Kingyo. It’s a popular restaurant (apparently you can really only get in with reservations), and while I wasn’t completely blown away, it was still pretty good. And reasonably priced, so I’d probably go back again.
* This is all income I bring in that is above and beyond my full-time job. Money is primarily made through my two blogs and my graphic design business.

My recent post Hurricane Irene and the $1000.00 emergency savings fund in action
Hey, is Alcatraz worth the money? Last time I was in SF I could not get a ticket so I really want to know.
I definitely think it was worth the money. It was only $26 each, which included the boat ride and audio tour. The tour was really good, and very informative. A little disappointed that it was so crowded when we were there (and we even went on the 9:30am tour!), but other than that, I have no complaints.
It's holidays, you need to enjoy yourself. I know on trips there are a lot of things you can do for free, but there are some things that cost a bit but you are willing to do them for the experience.
