Week 2 at the Y...

The YMCA went much better today for Sean. I didn't stay to "watch" his gym time. Instead, I walked the track and only watched his swimming. They bumped him up a level at swimming, so that was encouraging. Note to self: remind him that he can put his face in right away! He looked like a little puppy swimming across the pool for the first half :)

Parking has been a different story though. The Y is in downtown Duluth, so they "let" you park in the Holiday Inn parking ramp for free. Well, here is how the last 2 times have gone parking there.
1. Last week, without knowing, I went up the down ramp and never got a parking ticket. When leaving I realized my mistake and was laughing at myself telling the old gal at the pay booth. She didn't think it was funny and charged me $6.50 for a lost ticket. I tried to explain it was a mistake...as I didn't think I should have to pay and showed her my Y pass...no go. I paid up begrudgingly.
2. Today, I went up the ramp the right way and got my parking ticket. When leaving, I handed her my ticket and showed my Y pass totally expecting to go. Nope...needs to be validated at the Y! Are you kidding me?! I was never told this, and I will do it next time. She wanted to charge me, but I didn't bring my wallet so I got away this time. So frustrating!

Hope you all have sunshine. It was raining here earlier, but now it is beautiful out. We'll be heading out to take a walk/bike ride when everyone gets up.
