    After a long weekend, it’s time for a review of some Carnivals posted over the past few days including a super Carnival of Personal Finance: NSA Edition over at Advanced Personal Finance.  Fire Finance hosted a wonderful lineup with the Carnival of Money Stories last week, and an eclectic mix of articles was provided at the Carnival of Homeowners, hosted by Homeowners Insurance Lowdown.  I really enjoy reading the contributions each week at the various carnivals-there’s always something to learn!Â
    We spent a nice Labor Day weekend camping and relaxing at a nearby lake. Instead of spending a fortune, the nightly costs for our campsite were less than $18, so all we really paid for was food and fuel for driving there. Of course we packed most of our food in advance, cooked out quite a bit, and even caught enough fish for dinner Sunday night. I would say it was a frugal trip, but the fuel costs really add up. However it was a memorable trip, and something not measured in terms of money, but rather the time spent with family. I could hardly believe how many people were on the road!Â
