Wannado City



Regan had a field trip at school last week. They went to Wannado City. It is a really neat place. When they got off the bus the were giving $150 in Wannado money. Then when you go inside you get to try out all different kinds of jobs and earn more money and then you can spend it on the "fun activities". They have rock climbing and a little fair and other things. It is really neat. They have pilot academy, casting calls, modeling, radio and tv stations, archeaology, vet, fire dept, police dept, hospitial with surgery, er, and nursery, cookery where you make your own cookie, pizzeria-make your own pizza, salon, bank, courthouse, grocery store which is actually a Publix, coca cola bottling, and a Willy Wonka factory, which the kids really wanted to do but the line was forever long. There were so many things to try. We had 4 kids in our group, 2 boys and 2 girls which made it kind of hard because they wanted to do different things. So we didn't get to do all the things we wanted. But it is really neat the kids got to put on work clothes and try different jobs. The first things the kids did when we got there was go to the bank and put some of their money and the bank and then get a bank card. They loved being able to go to the ATMs and use their cards and get money out. We had alot of fun and I am glad I was able to go with Regan. I'd like to go back and take the family.

That sounds like such a fun thing for kids. I wish I could just go to an ATM and get somebody else's "money" out! :)

We always wanted to go there, but the boys were too little then. We will have to plan a trip next time we come for a visit. It looks fun!!!!

Serina just mentioned this place to me. I had never heard of it, but it sounds really cool! We should get a group together and take the kids! PS: um... girls night???
