Welcome to the 69th Edition of the Carnival of Money Stories! I’m pleased to be hosting this week.
I’m calling this week’s carnival the “Summer Vacation Edition”. Rather than focus on going back to school, or autumn looming ahead of us, I thought it would be fun to reflect on the summer. This summer, many of us have been fortunate enough to get away for a break, even if short. Whatever your vacation, whether no-frills or grand, let’s think about the fun that was had. If you haven’t taken a vacation, think of where you would like to go next. As can be seen from my most recent blog post, this is a topic that’s been on my mind:)
For me, my very short getaway this summer was to Canada, with one day being spent visiting Niagara Falls. I was last there in my youth, so it brought back some great family memories. Those falls are still impressive, no matter how many times I have seen them.
How about you? Did you take a vacation this summer?
Let’s get to the articles!

We headed down south for some fun in the smoky mountains. It was hot! I need to get back to Niagara Falls too, but have to get that passport first.
My kids went back to school today, so my summer is officially over…
My summer vacations were to attend two blogging conferences. Lots of fun and information, but not very relaxing.
Thanks for including my article and hosting.
Thanks for hosting!
I think I’ve vacationed more this year than any other! Well, I actually had just a one week vacation, but several smaller min-vacations over long weekends. It’s been a bit hectic, but it really breaks the summer up to take a bunch of 3-day trips.
Thanks for hosting, btw!
I never made it to Niagra even though I lived in Quebec for 2 years, wish I did!
Great round up carnival Squirellers.
Thanks for hosting this carnival. I especially liked How I Run My Home Based Business… although there were plenty of other great stories as well.
Thank you! Appreciate the carnival this week. Thanks for including our post here.
Thx for the love!
