Michael Girdley (@Girdley) and Bill D’Alessandro (@BillDA) talk about a really fun deal as we go all the way to Port Macquarie, Australia to check out a water-inflatable theme park for sale. This one seems like a great place to take your kids and not only that, we also look into whether it's a great place to park your money.
