Economic Stimulus

In anticipation of our Economic Stimulus Payment, we excitedly planned our Summer 2008 Family Vacation!

Thoughts of this…

And this...

And even this....

Flitted through our heads.

But after much contemplation about this....
And this...

We settled on this....

Don’t their faces just scream excitement??

Why, you ask? Why would you ever go to Lagoon?? Because. It. Was. FREE!

Thanks to my generous (insert shameless plug here) employer, it didn’t cost a thing, which fit PRECISELY into our revised Family Vacation budget.

Because why else would someone in their right mind pay $40 PER PERSON to spend a day in what has to be the closest thing to Hell on Earth! Where the highlight of the day was the Gumwad Wall.

(The wall that we had the privilege of standing in front of for 15 minutes while the maintenance folks used a jack to line up the rails because there was a “misalignment” of the track. Suspicious.)

Anyway, THANK YOU oh-dear-and-revered government leaders for making a knee-jerk reaction to untangling the shambles of our economy and sending us some stimulus. Without which we would have been denied such an enriching Family Vacation.

God Bless America

Question

J: Honey, I have a question for you?

D: Hmmmmm....

J: If Jennifer Lopez is Marc Anthony's "J-Lo," does that make me your "J-Ho"?

D: Did you seriously just ask me that?
