DC Metro Blogging – Vacation recap

I like this map, but it never works right for me since I lock down a lot of Active-X/pop-up settings.

Try the lo-fi list.

If you’re in DC near a Metro station, you might want to get added to this list. No, I never get any referring traffic, but I like to go there and spy on my neighbors every once in a while. (just kidding!)

Bubble Meter is on there, one of my favorite Real Estate/PF blogs. It’s funny stuff.

I’m feeling a little local these days. Exploring your own backyard for hidden gems is a frugal way to enjoy life without slogging a lot of miles on travel. I spent all three nights of the holiday weekend in different states. (Four, if you go Friday – Monday nights.) I went out of my way only about 70 miles. It cost me hardly anything in extra gas. I paid about $60 for camping/groceries on one leg of my trip, $55 for dinner, movie and barbecue on another leg. Out of pocket, my holiday cost me about $120 extra beyond what I would have spent if I only did the road trip home. (And I actually got to avoid one toll charge.) I didn’t stay in a hotel anywhere and still managed to have a very fun filled weekend with good friends and family. A memorable trip all around.
