[quote=Anonymous]How much is the pool?  When it's hot, the pool really is great.  Is there a community pool or YMCA anywhere that you might be able to get a reasonably-priced membership?

It also depends on your neighborhood.  Are there parks or spraygrounds nearby?  Is nanny driving places and parking or can she take metro?

At any rate, I agree that that sounds like a TON of money.  I have 5-year-old twins and spend around $50 per week.

We go to a store once a week and stock up on snacks qnd lunch ingredients for the week, then hit a nearby sprayground, then play at the park near home ($25)

We do zoo or a museum about twice a week, and bring the food we bought (cost of metro, which is auto-reload, so doesn't count).

We do a "destination park" like Clemijontri in McLean or Cabin John in MD, again bringing snacks and lunch along, but pay for a train ride or carousel or whatever (usually less than $10).

The last day is our wild card and we sometime spend nearly nothing (free movie or museum activity or story time) or inexpensive (bowling, craft project at local toy store or michaels, meetup for playdate and bring a snack to share) but sometimes we spend a lot (Baltimore Aquarium, Port Discovery, Mt Vernon).[/quote]
