Around and around and around she goes. Where she stops nobody knows. That’s what I was thinking on the Cyclone last night. Fortunately, this was before the cheesestake, wings and fries. Unfortunately, it was after the first Mike’s Hard Lemonade.
It was truly freeing (the ride, not the lemonade). My thoughts were flying in and out as the wind was rushing around me.
You see, last night, Kristin and Mr. Kristin took us to Six Flags America. It was a corporate event. All the food and drinks were free. Really! We took no kids. Nada. We had fun, though I admit, it was a little odd being at an amusement park without them. As we passed (or rode) a ride, I’d think about which of the kids would enjoy it.
The park was not at all crowded. So there was virtually no wait for rides. There was, however, a wait for food.
A few highlights:
- Kristin got an 82 on that thing where you hit the hammer really hard on the metal plate. You know the one? Jeff got an 81. Poor Jeff. They both won blow-up hammers, so you could say that they’re both winners, right!?
- At the age guessing booth, she guessed I was 36. And I have a stuffed Homer Simpson to prove it.
- Being out with friends on a weekday at an amusment park with no kids and no curfew. Now that’s a highlight in itself!
it was a great night – thanks for coming with us!
The Cyclone, isn’t that that spinny thing that turns you into a human centrifuge? I’m impressed you kept that hard lemonade down. I would have taken back-to-back roller coaster rides, whhheeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Cheesesteak and wings. That’s like my dream meal.
Sounds like fun! Interesting, the adults lined up more for food than rides.
It’s strange to go somewhere like that without your kids…on the other hand, isn’t it nice not having to tend to anyone else?
“Being out with friends on a weekday at an amusment park with no kids and no curfew.”
…you know, can’t say I’ve EVER done any of that. At least, not since I was a kid…but I guess that would read, “no parents and no curfew.” Sounds like a blast.
Lol…sounds like you guys had an awesome time!
