Sesame Place
Today, we took the kids to Sesame Place. If you enjoy crowds, extremely long waits on line, being subject to gouged prices, and seeing 1,000+ overweight people in bathing suits that they have no business even dreaming about much less wearing, then this is the place for you.
And, of course, this is just me talking - because the kids had a lot of fun today. Ah, to be between the ages of one and three......
Actually, today, a thought occurred to me. If a stranger came up to you on the street, could be anyone, but someone who you did not know, and asked "Would you like to take a bath with me?" you would probably think about beating their head in, just for asking. But, yet, going to a water/spray park and jumping into the water with hundreds of people who you do not know is fine. The world is strange sometimes.
Anyway, the next time someone moans about the price of Yankee Stadium, or the crowds, or the sights that you may be subject to see there, tell them to try Sesame Place instead.
Cool stuff from today, besides the kids having fun:
On the way out of the park, a security guard pointed to my 1998 World Champions Yankee T-Shirt and said "Go Yankees!"
And, on the way home, on 29, we passed the park where the Yanks' Double-A team plays. We were so close that you could reach out and touch it. It was the first time that I saw the outside of that park. It's now on the "to do" list. Looks like a great time.

There is absolutely nothing worse or more disgusting than a public swimming facility - that is once you are old enough to understand why.

I have to confess, this evening, I said a little prayer to the chlorine gods asking from some assurance that they were not taking the day off today.......

Waterfront Park is nice. I went there bunch of years ago when the Thunder was affiliated with the BoSox.

...and to root for the other team, I hope!

I don't think I was rooting for anyone actually.
