pictures and words
7:30 Summer 1997 = the last time I visited an amusement park. Alabama Advntr, here we come!
7:45 just had a divine appt because I took the wrong exit! I make plans, but God directs my steps.
9:00 We’re in! The $10 tickets are for real.
9:15 Sitting on the curb…gonna people-watch for the next 45.
9:30 The folks taking advantage of cheap tickets are an interesting bunch. People-watching is my favorite!
9:45 Far too many girls walking around w/front of pants hanging open. What’s up with that?!
10:00 bathroom, lockers, tubes, sunscreen
10:20 Abbey & I just finished first slide. She <3ed it!
10:40 Two words: giant. bucket.
11:00 Lazy river — man, I’m getting old.
11:30 UpSurge! Longest line evar!
11:45 1 man in line has taken it upon himself to be the tube police. I’m torn…
11:45 He’s getting on my nerves, but I appreciate his keeping the tube thieves in check.
12:20 AT THE TOP! 8 yr old boy crying on the steps. he’s scared to go down the slide.
12:25 Boy’s mom just pointed Abbey out 2 him. “Look at that little girl. She’s going!” Not cool, mom, not cool.
12:30 UpSurge was worth the wait. Awesome slide!
12:45 LUNCH @ The SwaggerWagon. Ham & swiss on wheat, cheese-its, oreos, water, grapes.
1:00 feeding bread crumbs to pigeons in the parking lot
1:15 sunscreen, bathrooms and stroller rental; $12?!? After the next few hours, it will be worth every penny.
1:25 just found out about the shirt rule…bummer.
1:27 going to find a t-shirt for Abbey
1:35 shop attendant needs to get off the phone. less-than-stellar customer service 😦
1:40 $11.99 for shirt
1:45 blister on my toe popped — owie
1:55 Shirt on Abbey! Now she can ride. Hooray for no crowds and short lines!
2:00 Introduced to Justin Beiber by the Hurricane ride.
2:01 if i start dancing, will someone record me and put it on youtube? better stand still.
2:10 just found out they’re giving away free ice water @ the chicken place uphill. i’m there.
2:45 I may go home with a blister, but I refuse to accept a sunburn. Time for more sunscreen!
3:00 Abbey is fearless. She wants to go on the upside down ride, but she’s not big enough.
3:02 SO GLAD I DON’T HAVE TO RIDE THAT ONE
4:00 we rode the wooden coaster. Abbey laughed the whole time. I need to find a chiropractor.
4:30 log flume and river gorge are so fun
5:00 Making our way to the gate. My girl is exhausted! Time to head home.
5:10 Great day!! Def worth $10 ticket.
Best post ever 😉
12:25 … sorry, that was me. I tend to think that belittling my boy will give him courage. I’ve tried that and bribery both to no avail 😉 I am a desperate thrill ridin’ fool.
12:45 … we had nearly the exact same lunch two weeks ago at Kings Dominion.
Was it just you and Abbey? Fun times, momma!

Fun idea for a post! Sounds like a fun day. Can’t wait until Ella’s old enough and I can leave the house for a whole day. That’ll be great!
