Every year, I go on a trip with my college girlfriends (+Stokie!). There are always two planners who arrange the trip for everyone else and it's a surprise to the rest of the group until a few days before we leave. The group agrees upon a date and a budget, and the rest is left up to the planners. Our budgets have been very small each year, yet we always manage to have a lot of fun and have money left over.
This year, we spent 4 days at Mt. Snow, Vermont.
From left to right: Me, Andrea, Melinda, Kara, Kelley, Sarah, Jen, Sara, Nicole. We missed Caitlin this year!
There are a few rules with the trip as well: No husbands/boyfriends, no babies, no new members. Every person pays the same amount, no matter where they're travelling from. Our intention was to do this trip every year for pretty much the rest of our lives. By keeping it simple, we thought we'd have the best shot at keeping it a tradition.
Kelley and Sara are our planners for next year. Maybe we'll venture out of the Northeast this time? Or maybe not. We'll have to wait and see!
