LAGOON!!!

Well, the crazyness continues. My sister grew out of her old car (a 94 Toyota Corolla) with the birth of their latest baby. They decided to take the leap to get a mini-van. I had a hair-brained idea that chain-reacted to the current situation. What if I bought the car and left it in Utah for the times we come down to visit and have fun??? We would easily make up the purchase price of the car in saved rental fees in no time at all. What if we bought season tickets to Lagoon for us to use during the summer??? Hmmm. Well, that's exactly what happened. We gave it a test run for the first time last week. I gave Heather the day off, sorta, and took the girls to Utah. The flight is only an hour, and the shuttle to the hotel where I left the car was there waiting for us. Ten minutes later we were piled in the car and fifteen minutes later (plus a quick stop to grab some rain ponchos for the forecast and sandwiches for lunch) we were at Lagoon. Needless to say, the girls and I all had a blast. It did rain for a bunch of the day (best three bucks I have spent in a while on those ponchos). We stayed reasonably dry and made the most of the rainy day. It really cut down on the lines, though. We just went from ride to ride. What a blast. Our plan worked great in reverse. We dumped the car at the hotel, took the shuttle to the airport and were home that night to excitedly tell Heather and "woogies" all about it. We can't wait to go again.
