I loved Tom Sawyer Island when I was a kid. I miss all the old attractions. Still can't wait to take my kids when they are old enough.<br /><br />We have zoo passes for the same reasons you mentioned. San Diego Zoo is huge and we can do 2-3 hour visits and just come back another day. Even better, we live about 15 miles away.Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930065815010914887.post-28182873456305661852013-03-01T06:08:52.328-08:002013-03-01T06:08:52.328-08:00Playground is probably a better metaphor than sand...Playground is probably a better metaphor than sandbox.

That patch of grass was a dark forest for my action figures. That moss and rain puddle, a murky swamp. Turning my bicycle upside down created a deadly machine that my action figures had to navigate safely. Empty paper towel rolls were dark tunnels and so forth. With the right kind of eyes, there are countless things to explore right in front of you. <br /><br />You're right, it's not just a box of sand, but I would argue that it's not disguised as a pirate's lair. It is a pirate's liar. Some people just forgot and only see it as a jungle gym with slides and ladders.burnedfxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04698632807214685951noreply@blogger.com
