I had forgotten my wallet.  It was in the swim bag from the day before.  Admission was only $3 (for me, free for Emma) and all I could scrounge up was $1.25 in quarters from my car.  <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUad59zgdcjFJ0HwZKhWo-KLGkoB29oiRbvkTpdnxJTSmxtnBLEnIOO1NHocdtRf_TfGwEeHxNlXCMpPC042Js_2L0qDK1szyHvLCs8gSAguwjj0NKY0nnb-r7wepqQIiRu1xHoJPt-0o/s1600/IMG_1054.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;
