Scott and I LOVE to travel. In the almost five years we have been married we have traveled all over the United States, into Mexico and Canada, and have been on two cruises. We are constantly planning our next vacation and are hoping to go to Texas later this year and Hawaii next Spring. About two years ago we setup a vacation account we try to add to on a regular basis. Instead of buying each other Anniversary and Valentine gifts we put the money we would have spent into the vacation account. We also use this Little Piggy to supplement the account. All change we both collect goes into the piggy bank and when it gets full we deposit it in the vacation fund. It is fun to see how quickly we can fill it- it usually takes us about 3-4 months and averages about $50. Now that we have Miss Olivia our travel plans may slow down a bit, but I doubt we will be able to stay grounded for long. In fact-we should probably get in a lot of traveling in the next two years before we have to buy her a separate plane ticket.

We've done quite a bit of traveling while Lincoln has been little. It's a challenge, but it's fun at the same time. It's nice to get away and the tiny ones still travel really easily.
