Morning Check-In: Closing Ceremonies

Good morning! Let’s get into it.

On Friday, we tried to take some good advice and leave the office a little earlier than usual. A friend and I met Logan at the American Natural History Museum less than two hours before closing, and a young woman walked up to us and gave us free admission ($0). We looked at dinosaurs and a squid and a whale before deciding to stop by a bar for pickles, biscuits and beer ($27).

I met some friends for brunch on Saturday ($17), and then we decided to get frozen yogurt at 16 Handles ($3.13). Before heading home for a catnap, I picked up some peaches at the farmer’s market ($6.50), and later had a late night dinner in the neighborhood ($18).

I spent Sunday morning catching up on correspondence, followed by one load of laundry ($4.75), a trip to the grocery store ($63.47), and then running off to celebrate the closing ceremonies with friends ($0).

Total: $139.85 — On par with how much I normally spend on weekends.

It’s your turn to share. How were your weekends?
