First Day of Summer!! I always feel like a kid again on those last days of the school year! Love it!
As for my first day of summer, I spent…working! Apparently, that’s what all school teachers are doing these days! Boo for summer jobs! 46th in the nation! Come on NC!??
And tomorrow, I have training at the county office. But only for a half day and after that I’m all free! Well, as free as one can be, I suppose. I am going to the grocery store directly after training with no kids in tow. I guess that is kind of like a vacation.
So, Wednesday, I actually am all free. My kiddos (ages 5 and 6) have never been to Carowinds. I never wanted to pay money for the ticket unless they could do most of the rides. They are now both 48 inches or taller so here we come Carowinds! Well, maybe. I thought we should go as early in the summer as possible because I know some counties are still in school (so sorry for all you that are still in school!) and I was hoping it would be less crowded. Plan in place. Right? Well, not exactly. So I look up the ticket prices online. Wow!! I’m not even sure with my summer job we can afford to go to Carowinds! So I hunt for coupons. The best deal I could find was to order online…39.99 each. So 39.99 x 4 = 159.96. That’s just the tickets to get in the place. Not to mention gas to get there and FOOD!!! Needless to say, I’m on the fence about the whole Carowinds trip. If we do go, my kids will be eating pb & j sandwiches in the parking lot.
