Old..

It was a beautiful Charlotte day, so I spent a few hours at Carowinds this afternoon.

Since it was a Tuesday, the park was virtually empty.  There were a bunch of school groups, but there were not even that many of them. 

There were no lines anywhere.  Bliss.

Due to the emptiness of the park, the operators would allow you to stay in your seat on the rides if there was nobody waiting in the queue.

I got to ride my favorite roller coaster several times without having to get out of my seat.

There were three kids sitting beside me the entire time.  I did not really talk to them until the last few times we rode.

After nine times around, I was starting to get a bit dizzy and kinda wanted to walk around a bit.

The kids on my row decided to get off at the same time. 

When we were walking down the stairs to leave the ride, one of the little girls said...

"I have never seen a grown-up ride something so many times. You're cool!"

Um.. when did I become a grown-up?

(At least she thought I was a cool one!)

Stay tuned...

LOL, a grown up! Too funny! We went to the water park Saturday. Weekend, not cool. Looking forward to school being out so we can go during the week.

Oh Honey, to a school age kid, if you are 19, you are a grown-up!

Better a "grown up" than a "groan up" as I like to say. (Which is actually more a visual joke, so when I say it no one gets it.)

At least you don't have the pleasure of getting ma'am-ed!
