It was one of the places we thought about when we couldn't go to sleep at night.
We liked the beach alright during the summer but the trip we looked forward to most was when both our parents came with a picnic and ride tickets.(A grocery store awarded us ride tickets for our report card grades).
One of my favorite rides was the 'Magic Carpet'. It was a fun house with mirrors that distorted your body shape and a bench that shot air up when you sat down on it. Of course the best part was at the end when you got to go down the magic carpet.
I've often thought how wonderful it would be if I could duplicate these attractions in my own house. I may need to ask my handy brothers to assist me in this endeavor.
