Welcome to So Money.

Welcome to So Money, everybody. Happy post 4th of July. You're probably off from work today and if you're not, what are you doing? Go out there, have fun, relax, chill out. It's Independence Week. I'm recording this from my house in Brooklyn. We did not go away this year for 4th of July. You know, it's a little tough traveling with a toddler and even

with a five-year-old. I think we're just homebodies a lot of these days. If we can avoid planes, trains, and automobiles, we will. We like

walking, we like busing, strollering, and sometimes it's nice to be one of the few people left in New York City during a holiday weekend and that's us right now

So we're looking forward to being able to get any seat we want at any restaurant outside first on the swing set first of the sprinklers

so our little staycation but we are planning a getaway later this month to Martha's

Vineyard my first time which is kind of weird since I grew up in

New England, Massachusetts even, but this is my going to be my first time in

Martha's Vineyard and that's going to be a bit of a hall so we're splitting up that

trip because as some of you may know,

there's a ferry involved.

So we are going to drive and then stay overnight somewhere near there

and then get up the next morning and drive to the ferry, and then ferry, and then

ferry and then ferry and then, you know, the whole shebang.
