Mother’s Day

It’s a time to say Thanks Mom for all the things she’s done for you! We’re supposed to spoil her with cards, flowers and gifts… and Guys, don’t forget the mother of your child!

A while back, we got a tip that since everyone in the world was taking mom to the typical Mother’s Day brunch… one of the busiest places in Northern California was usually empty… Great America! The kids were only about 3… so my wife and I decided to have a fun day at Great America, and to our amazement… the theme park was almost empty!

When we walked in we immediately went to our favorite roller coaster, Top Gun! We were the only people on the ride and we rode it over and over!

Within about 2 hours we had  ridden almost every thrill ride in the park and afterwards we were back home by dinner time!

That was several years ago, and the secret may have well gotten out by now, but sometimes it’s worth a shot to take Mom for some family fun instead of the typical Mother’s Day faire.
