I have been slacking a bit here at Max Out of Pocket. Considering everything we’ve had going on, it is pretty surprising I even managed to squeeze out four posts in July. But that’s okay because we have been busy living life. When I last checked in, I mentioned that we were in the middle of a staycation in our little vacation town here in New England.

We also squeezed in a four day trip to Canada to see the highest tides in the world. We were even able to stay pretty busy around here at the blog. All of this while holding down...
