Of course, to protect the glass and window/door hardware you have to tape and paper it. I use old casual office clothes to work around the house. I have a closet full of work clothes I wore to the office for 20 years, mostly casual slacks and blouses. Now I need gardening, housework and other casual type clothing.

When I took my grandchildren to the local carnival in my own city on the 4 th of July, each ride was at least $3 per child – so $9 a pop if I rode with them. Take your own rain gear/appropriate clothing. Overall, the value we received for those $30 tickets was greater than the price we paid. How to save when you are in the park.

It was the trip of a lifetime with our extended family (two sons, their spouses and two of our grandchildren). Either take enough clothes to last your trip in the park or hand wash and air dry what you need day by day. Of course, don’t drive afterward. Of course, don’t drive afterward. Stay outside the park.
