Kennywood! Whee-hoo!

Kennywood is a small amusement park located 25 minutes away from Carnegie. It has a few good rides and one really big outdoor ride and one big indoor ride. Not Six Flags by any means, but it's a lotta fun. Plus, Kennywood holds a special place in the hearts of many Pittsburghers, and I can see why. It's special. ^_^ Anyway, Bryan and I went yesterday with his friend and his friend's niece. We had a blast! oh, and not only was it not crowded--it was Polish Day! Everywhere I went I saw shirts like "Kielbasa--$4, Pierogies--$2, Being Polish--priceless" and "Not only am I perfect, I'm Polish!" ^_^ Was really fun.
Ironically, I always said that if I lived near an amusement park I would go all the time, but reality doesn't allow it. Scheduling is just difficult because my husband and I work different shifts, meaning that when I am enjoying time off, he's got his nose to the grindstone. Kinda stinks. Eventually, we'll both have jobs where we can have entire days off together and--gasp!--maybe a weekend!--without specifically requesting them. I'm just glad that we both have the end of August for this purpose. We're going to Bryan's cousin's wedding in North Carolina! Will be way fun.
Anyway, I hope everybody gets a day off every once in a while to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Work leads to rewards--stop and take advantage of them every once in a while. Love to all! ^_^
