My Dingy Blonde Daughter

My daughter, Nicole, lives in Lafayette, LA and brought up the subject of going somewhere not too far away for the Easter weekend. She didn't want a long drive or to spend a lot of money. After talking to her for a bit we decided on maybe going to Biloxi, MS. After checking out places there, most were booked or was more than I wanted to spend. Then she started sending me places that she had found that were really high at over $1,000. I then asked her about a cabin at one of the campgrounds in Louisiana? She said that would be nice. I found several campgrounds to consider and one that offered horseback riding. My granddaughter loves horses so I knew she would choose that campground and I was right. It turned out that they were booked solid for the weekend so it was off the books. Last night I asked her if she had looked up the fees for horseback riding and she said yes! They are only $3.00 a person for the whole day. I told her that was not right and to go back and read it again. The $3.00 per person was for people who were bringing their own horses and the $3.00 fee was the trail fee. I told her that was a deal too good to be true and it would be more like $30-40 per person per hour. She checked it out and it was $50 per person per hour. We just chalked that one up for another dingy blonde moment for her. Do you have a dingy blonde in your family? Or a friend like that? Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

When I read $ 3 a person for the whole day, I was sure there was something wrong. No dingy blonde in our family.

@LadyDuck That is for sure! I am going to make a point to shop sales here. I have already put an ice chest in the car. I just need to put in a couple ice packs when I leave in case I do use it!

That's a shame it is so expensive. I'm not sure what it costs here but it wouldn't be cheap. I'm sure their insurance fees would be very high.

Our black haired granddaughter has been called a dumb blond a few times in jest. Hope y'all find an affordable and fun place to go.

That's funny! I'm glad you had a level head and good common sense to realize those prices sounded too good to be true! How old is your daughter and granddaughter?
