It was with great sadness and woe that I bid adieu to my mom early this morning. I feel really lucky to have always had good relationships with both of my parents. Sure, we all suffered through the predictably rocky adolescent years, but who isn't at least something of a terror as a teen? One of my hopes is that my children and I will have similarly strong, loving relationships throughout our lives. What a joy and a comfort it is to have parents that one feels one can always count on for anything.
During Mom's visit, we hit the tourist hot spots including the local nature center, zoo, and Sea World with its fun and fabulous "Bay of Play" for the under 5 set. And after chasing one's two-year-olds around the Bay of Play for several mind-numbing hours, one can head on over to the hospitality tent for, yes, you guessed it! FREE BEER! I know! Can you think of anything better than free beer? I'm sure most of our husbands can't! You see, Sea World is owned by the Anheuser-Busch folks and so they pass out mini-cups of beer to all comers over 21! It's absolutely delightful.
And so, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to talk up the FREE BEER to your husbands. What (free beer!) better way (free beer!) to talk the boys (free beer!) into an (free beer!) A+ reunion (free beer!) sooner rather than (free beer!) later?!! Did I mention the completely, totally, delicious and ice cold FREE BEER? It's right here in sunny Southern California waiting to quench the thirstiest of A+ hubbies!
Oh, and they also have really big horses and whales and penguins along with the FREE BEER. You were wondering if I'd forgotten about the penguins, weren't you. Well, I admit that I did forget about them in the midst of my FREE BEER! frenzy. The penguins were way cool (ahem... get it? way cool? I know, I know... good one, W.!) and definitely worth a visit. Especially after a stop at the FREE BEER! pavilion.
