My Million Dollar Trip to CaliforniaPresentation by Jenny

For my million dollar project I chose to go to California with 19 other friends and family members. I looked through many activities and items to purchase for my trip. I spent my money in 5 major categories: meals, activities, shopping, travel and lodging. I will show you the circle graphs and spreadsheets of each major category.

A Brief Summary

Meals When I estimated my meals, I found several restaurants that I love to eat dinner at. I looked at the menu and estimated what the meal would cost for each person. For breakfast and lunch, I assumed a fixed price everyday.
