We had no money for travelling / vacationing, so the highlight was a trip to what was then known as Wild Water Kingdom, on the eastern edge of Brampton. I was driving a minivan full of kids (mine, and some of their friends). The lack of any functional traffic lights - in Brampton, no less - made for a challenging, not to mention; long, slow drive. <br />Of course, we were turned away when we finally arrived. Apparently, a water park without power is just a collection of pools. So, we had to trek all the way back through the Bramptonian traffic nightmare. Pretty sure we had no A/C in the van, and I seem to recall; it was stinkin' hot! Man, that fragrant adolescent tang of teenage sweat and pheromones! Woowhee! Fun timez!DonaldARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485798417653259977noreply@blogger.com
