Plink, Plink...

When we were all together for my family's Christmas gathering, my sister Annie (not Dan's sister Ann) suggested we all plan to gather in 2011 for a reunion. She and Tyler had picked a location and already started making connections for lodging discounts.
In the flyer Annie stated...
"THE PLAN: We've decided it's time we started having family reunions. We are getting rather large and it's harder and harder to get all of us together. So here's the plan: we want to host a family reunion in 2011.

"Our Family To Do List:

• Decide on a date. Options include summer, UEA, spring break, etc. Off season will be significantly cheaper.
• Plan attractions you want to see
• Gatlinburg
• Pigeon Forge
• Save your pennies for your airfare, food, activities, and rental cars
• Get pumped! Because Pigeon Forge ROCKS!"

This was not a lightly made suggestion. The flyer was very well done with enough attractions listed to tempt any individual. They even prepared our own savings jars to put our pennies in for the trip!

Well, since we don't have a money tree planted anywhere near us Dan and I have been putting aside our pennies, as directed. Sometimes we are able to put away more than just pennies:

Every little bit helps...

Look some we even saved some paper money...

Frequent flyer miles are also being reserved for this trip giving us more pennies for SHOPPING!

oh yeah...and eating and the rides and such too! :)

Family Reunion 2011 HERE WE COME!!!!!!
