This past weekend was kinda poopola weather-wise. Mike and I had planned on flying to Tillsonburg for a fly-in, but it was a no-go weather-wise. Oh well. I was still feeling kinda blah since recovering from my bladder and kidney infection. I rested quite a bit over those two days, which was good since we bought tickets for Marineland for Monday. Neither of us had been there for years. The park opened at 10:00, and we arrived around 10:15. It was very overcast that day and rain was forecast for early afternoon. We showed up to an almost empty park:
It was so weird! We decided to walk around the park and scope things out. After about ten minutes of walking, we arrived at the Dragon Mountain roller coaster. We noticed the height requirement sign. There is no way my tiny mother would have made it on this ride. See below:
The awesome part was we were the only ones on the ride! Our first trip was in the back car. Notice the lack of patrons:
Good times. I was a tad disappointed as I did not get even the slightest rush from the ride. It’s like when I do aerobatics in my plane – no rush, just fun. I’m not sure if that’s from one of my MS lesions on my cute little brain that disrupted this part of me, or I just got rushed-out over the years. Regardless, the roller coaster was still fun. We got off the ride, walked back around (as instructed) and got in the front car. Again, the only people on the ride. Good times! Afterwards, we hit a few more rides. The most on the rides with us were about ten other people. No wait times at all. One the way to the next ride, we checked out the cute bears:
We also checked out the belugas:
We then walked over to the Sky Screamer, which is where they shoot you straight up then drop you down. Mike wasn’t too struck on riding this one, so he took pics. So, I rode it with a young little dude. The sweetest thing happened – we had to wait over half an hour before a ride operator showed up and started the ride. The boy wandered away with his mother to find an employee. When he came back, he brought me a daisy. So sweet! You can see it on my left hand:
Could I be any paler?!?! Good grief!
After this ride, it started to rain. Mike and I decided to head home. Before leaving the park, we both bought a season pass for $5 each! Nice!
Once back home, we told the cats about our day. They weren’t too thrilled. Abby and Mya just sat there like dorks:
Mike then decided to give Abby another kitty friend:
Something we haven’t done in a while is play Call of Duty. Mike and I are an awesome team. As you can see from our score (I’m Abby), we kick butt (tee hee!):
In all fairness, I was in the Army for eleven years. I have more experience! The main thing is we always win. We rock.
Today’s symptoms: I felt better today than over the weekend. I didn’t do too well yesterday – very fatigued and lots of MS aches and pains. I’m hoping tomorrow is at least a tad better!
