how to spend a bajillion dollars

I felt robbed of a couple of vacation days since we had to come home early for T.'s work. So the past two weeks I've been trying to have as much fun as possible with B. Plus preschool is starting in September and it just feels like we should make the most of this free time. So we've been to the aquarium ($8 parking, $25 ticket), the awesome Annenberg Beach House ($8 parking, $14 swimming pool access), bowling ($10 shoe rental, $25 for the lane) and the beach ($9 parking). And that's without snacks or all-important gift shop purchases! Granted, we could be going to the local park for free fun but it seems like anything else requires a minor bank loan. But all that being said, totally worth it.
