Not only did my vacation include crafts, there was a little personal finance element (in addition to all that was spent on the trip!) when we played the electronic banking version of Monopoly.

I have to say, I am not a fan. It is hard to keep track of your money when it is tied up in a card. Unlike real online banking, you can’t log on and see your balance 76 times a day, well, I suppose you could ask the banker to check your balance, but it is not the same as having your cash stashed with you and your property cards, like the old version.

Nevertheless, for Family Fun Night, it was still fun to sit around criss-cross (until our hips hurt) and play the game!
