Some nostalgia with mixed feelings here. I always wanted to rent a boat for the lagoon as a kid, but my single mother couldn't afford it. We were lucky when we had enough food. The one time I did get to rent a paddle boat, we got one that was broken and you paddled like crazy to move a few feet. It was the last one and we couldn't exchange it, so we didn't get far and it was frustrating. Worse, my mother had low blood sugar because of the exertion and we couldn't afford food at the park, so it caused us to leave early. Not the happiest birthday.
So, yeah. I liked seeing the boat rentals, but it also hurt.
