Spring Break


Bumper car fun!
Helpful Hints
  • Pack lunches and snacks to save money on food.
  • Bring water bottles.
  • Carry backpacks. You can always put them in lockers later.
  • Save up spare change and use it as spending money in the park (arcades, extra goodies)
  • Pay for parking and take the tram. Tired legs will thank you at the end of the day!

She gave him some money to spend on lunch or snacks, kissed him goodbye and drove off. I was looking forward to some time alone. I thought about using the time to study for an upcoming mid-term.
