Summer Dates: Very Amusing

Dorney Park is only a stone's throw away, and Six Flags Great Adventure is easily doable as a day trip.

 

When was the last time you rode a roller coaster without having to keep track of kids?

Consider an outing with your husband, wife or otherwise significant other in the form of a day -- or even better, an evening -- at an amusement park.

Stepping outside your confort zone and into a totally different environment is a great way to get rid of stress...or at least forget about it for a while.

Silly? Sure. Useful: Absolutely. Psychologists say you need time together to make your own memories and concentrate on each other.

Think of it: Maybe he'll win you a stuffed animal. Or maybe you'll share a whole funnel cake only with each other.

It can be done!

Maybe you'll even hit the water park and really forget about all those daily stresses. You still have a short window before the parks close for the season!

Enjoy!

We actually did this one day while the kids were still in school. It was a great time at dorney for us. The lines were short, wasn't crowded.
