The Water Park, season passes

We live in close proximity to a popular water park. Having a pair of kids we frequent the place with our season passes. We can leave the house and be inside the park within 12 minutes. We’re so close, in fact, that we’ll often go for as little as 1.5 hours after dinner. Makes for a fast paced evening; dinner, water park, baths, snack and a video, and the kids are in bed by 8:00. Nice to see the kids excited at the prospect of going and it really enhances the delight of the hot summer eves.

I’m not a fiscal freewheeler, so when we purchase our season passes there is consideration as to the break-even point. We challenge ourselves to see how many visits we can make between the park’s May opening and the early September close dates. Our personal record is 21 park visits set in that fabled summer of 2005! Good times.

We have fallen well shy of our personal record these last few summers. But this year, we’re looking to push 20! The park’s opening day was today. Game on.
