Pretty tough sell when your kid's three and can't really commit to anything outside of a two-hour window. :finger:
That's crap - I'd definitely start looking at another club
there isn't another option unfortunately. I'd love if she's stick with this for a bit but if she bails after two weeks, we're looking at a $500 penalty (penalty is 1/3 of outstanding tuition, so that would be the max)
Is this Gracie Barra or another outfit?

I have requested a fan and humidifier in my room and the hotel is going to hook it up. I like this place already.

Went to the nearest Bureau of Land Management (about 45 min away) and picked up a lifetime entrance pass to all US National Parks in preparation for our upcoming road trip to the Grand Canyon. It covers entrance fees for me and up to three guests. The best part...it's free for prior service members. It doesn't cover the cost of camping in the parks, but we've yet to have a need for that.
