We were down at Lake Norman for the long weekend, and as I was pulling up the kayaks this morning, I couldn't help but feel like I was also sort of putting away the summer. What a summer though. The last few weeks of August were pretty wall-to-wall. I went up to the Eastern Shore in Virginia to spend a long weekend with some old friends; our rental was right on an inlet off the Chesapeake, and they had a stand-up paddleboard I was able to take out, certainly the most fun I've ever had on one of those.

|
||||
|
||||
The following weekend, we headed up to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware to spend the week with my family. We love it up there; it's different than the North Carolina beaches we're used to with an old-school board walk, [indoor amusement park][1], (...something...). We all brought our bikes up and were able to take them out to [Gordons Pond][2], which was rad.

We also recorded this little jam featuring my 3.5-year-old niece on the melodica:
|
||||
|
||||
<audio controls src="nomi.mp3"></audio>
|
||||
|
||||
From there, we drove 400 miles to Greensboro, and then onto Lake Norman to spend Labor Day weekend with Claire's family, a relaxing way to cap off an eventful summer.
|
||||
|
||||
As one might imagine, this involved a lot of driving, and to pass the hours and miles, I tried something new: listening to audio books. I listen to podcasts fairly regularly, but with my running schedule being as it is, I'm running short on fresh content. At the recommendation of a friend, I wanted to read _The Left Hand of Darkness_ by Ursula K. Le Guin, and [my local library][3] had a recording of it available on Overdrive/Libby.
|
||||
|
||||
* _The Left Hand of Darkness_
|
||||
* _With a Mind to Kill_
|
||||
* The narrator, Rory Kinner, was great and has a [cool Bond connection][4]
|
||||
* _The Survivor_
|
||||
|
||||
[I guess this guy records a lot of audio books.][5]

History of Funland
|
||||
|
||||
[ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=]
|
||||
|
||||
It all started as an innocent vacation to the beach, back in 1961…
|
||||
|
||||
Allen and Don Fasnacht, their wives Jean and Dee, and their parents Al
|
||||
and Sis visited the place that was to become Funland during a trip to
|
||||
the Delaware seashore in August of 1961.
|
||||
|
||||
At the time, the family was operating a small “picnic park” near
|
||||
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, called Willow Mill Park. Being the park
|
||||
people that they were, they visited the Rehoboth Beach Sports Center,
|
||||
as it was called when the Dentino family owned it. While they were
|
||||
talking about the ins and outs of the park business with Mr Dentino, he
|
||||
asked if they might be interested in buying the Sports Center. Yeah
|
||||
right, was the thought not spoken, but that was going through the
|
||||
Fasnachts’ minds. Mr. Dentino affirmed that he was indeed interested
|
||||
in selling the business and that the Fasnachts should think about
|
||||
buying it.
|
||||
|
||||
Think about it is exactly what the family did when they returned home.
|
||||
It became a recurring topic in the Fasnacht family. They called Mr.
|
||||
Dentino and decided to go through with the purchase.
|
||||
|
||||
By March 1962 everything was falling into place, but so was an unusual
|
||||
area of low pressure off the East Coast. This storm never developed
|
||||
into a hurricane but was the lowest pressure system ever recorded for
|
||||
the area. Settlement on the park was to be on March 15, 1962. The
|
||||
Great Atlantic Storm hit on March 6th, devastating the entire eastern
|
||||
seacoast. The Fasnacht family traveled down from Hershey, and the
|
||||
Dentino family came up from Florida to assess the situation. Both
|
||||
families agreed to go ahead with the deal after they worked out an
|
||||
allowance for the damage.
|
||||
|
||||
The rest is history: expanding the park here and there, adding rides
|
||||
and games, and buying adjoining properties for the growing family and
|
||||
their children. From the original 1st and 2nd generation, there are
|
||||
now over twenty 3rd and 4th generation family members who are directly
|
||||
involved with the business. They, along with over ten 5th generation
|
||||
members coming up closely behind them, are all continuing that heritage
|
||||
that began half a century ago!

||||
