Memories

The school across the street is resurfacing their playground and the smell of fresh tar reminds me of Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. My family would visit the amusement park (now a sad representation of its former self) every summer - our big trip for the year. We'd wake-up at 5 a.m., stuff the car with Pringles and Coke, and drive four hours to arrive before the park opened at 10 a.m. We'd enjoy air conditioned shows, log rides, and entertainment shows starring Suzanne Somers before departing 12 hours later with glow stick necklaces in hand. Good times.
