Amusement Parks

One day of our vacation was completely spent at an amusement park. You know, one of those places where your credit card MELTS upon entering the facility because it has never incurred such a HUGE charge before.  "We don't charge based on age, we charge based on height and your son is over 48 inches so he will be charged as an adult."

It doesn't matter in the least if you don't even step foot on a ride, pay up.  I wonder if the little people get in those places free??? 

Don't even think of getting hungry or thirsty at one of these places unless you have the U.S. Mint in your back pocket.  A bottle of Lipton tea - $3.81 before tax.  A single serving bag of Doritos $1.89.  Why the weird prices I have no idea. I thought maybe when they added tax it would end up even - NOPE.  And the prices just went up from there.  I confess, da Mom did need a beer after a day of heat and smelly children. A small glass $6.44. Worth - EVERY - penny.

Anyway, here are a couple photos from the day at the park. My family felt the need to get wet first thing in the morning. Me - not so much, I sat and took pictures of the crazy people and stayed nice n dry :-)
