Get it while you can

If it’s Friday, it must be No iPhone Friday, ‘cuz there are still one or two folks out there without.  And this free content’s for you…compliments of Rehoboth in My Pocket.

Why Jungle Jim’s?  Look at the calendar.  And weep.  There’s not much left…not much left at all….
Jungle Jim’s Adventure World
No Running, No Smoking, No Gum.  Them’s the rules.  Beyond that, kids are free to go nuts at Jungle Jim’s Adventure World.
There’s plenty to keep a kid occupied for a day or two, all squeezed into a compact park just off Route 1 at the turn-off for Rehoboth Avenue.
Water park, go-karts, mini-golf, rock climbing, bumper boats, batting cages.  The only thing missing is the baby sitter.
The go-karts are the star of the show, with five tracks featuring enclosed karts, open karts, electric karts for the little ones, plus double karts so parents can ride with their kids.
The bumper boat pond has boats that squirt (as in water pistols), and the water park has all the cool stuff – giant slides, wave pool, lazy river.
There’s a snack bar, too.
All-day water park pass $29, or $19 for kids under 42”.  (After 3:00 the price drops to $20, or $14 for the little guys.)

This is not me.

I work hard to make No iPhone Friday relevant. I don’t just pick some random listing from our Rehoboth in My Pocket iPhone App and toss it out there, untethered and pointless.   I mean, I work at it, I sweat, I give it my all!  And may I just say that all the effort is paying off, cuz I am looking damn good.

You can look good, too.  But the heat this summer has been murder, and your morning jog has probably taken a few impetuous detours to The Ice Cream Store (mmmm…..bacon…..).

So, exercise indoors. Each of the gyms below is a  nice, safe, bacon-free zone.

PS – Have you picked up that iPhone yet? You could get all this free No iPhone  Friday content for just $3.99. Score!
