With the Wallowa Lake event just around the corner and two talks to give on Sunday.... we're a little bit pressed for time. But when Joy told us she and her crew were headed down to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk for 75 cent night, we voted for irresponsibility and hopped in the car to join them.

Not only is it a fun summer thing to do - but our first roller coaster rides together. I decided it was time to cash in on my "ride a roller coaster" coupon that Lee gave me for my birthday before the summer up and disappeared.... And what better roller coaster than the Big Dipper for only 75 cents?

We got in a few good rides on the Big Dipper. I nearly lost my JJ&F sandwich on Lee's new favorite ride - Fireball. And we went on a scavenger hunt looking for all of Tammy's lost possessions that launched from the Crazy Surf. We wrapped it all up with Lee's first trip to Maryanne's ice cream. I have to admit, as good as it is -- their raspberry sorbet doesn't come close to Lee's. :)
