Trip Cancelled
September 2nd, 2005 | 
Author: Will there ever be any relief? Relief from these rediculously high gas prices. We originally had plans to meet my sister and her family half way for a visit and something fun to do. We were going to stay in the Battle Creek area on the westside of the state. Since they live in Chicago, west Michigan would be the perfect area to meet up for a fun weekend. We had plans to go to Full Blast Adventure Park and enjoy their indoor waterpark, and maybe another day visit the Binder Park Zoo and feed the giraffes.
BUT NOOOOOoooo.. these gas prices have put a damper on all our plans cause it would cost more in gas than it would for our hotel stay. What a bummer. At least Gavin, being only 2 years old, doesn’t understand what’s going on, he really had no idea what we were going to do, so there’s no disappointment on his end.. shoot, he’s happy to just go to the local Greek diner to see the "Opa man" as he calls him, and the flaming cheese… LOL
So hubby says that this means that we’ll have more funds to do something fun for our anniversary coming up on September 27th.
Have a save and fun Labor Day weekend!!

I feel your pain. I had plans to go to Cedar Point this weekend but I just can’t do it with gas prices at $3.29
It’s bad enough admission to the park is somewhere around $45 these days.
Same in Oklahoma, Jennifer. We cancelled our plans to KC to a Royals baseball game. I have had the tickets since April ($124). I was the only one disappointed. Andrew (age 7) didn’t even know we were going. I find it easier to keep things like that to myself. He doesn’t ask me “how many more days until we go out of town?” Peace of mind is great.
