Day Dreaming...

Although we just took a weekend vacation to California, work has finally decided to catch up with us..BIG TIME! I have been day dreaming about an amazing vacation since we got married!! One night I got bored and was playing around online and found a smoking deal on vacations! I talked to the hubby, and he was not completely for the idea of taking 10 days off, but he promised he would take me there....eventually. Two weeks ago my parents took the younger siblings to the trip I had been dreaming about for months! A few pictures of the family in paradise and Tim was convinced it should be out turn for a late honeymoon!! We leave for Hawaii May 1st! Im sooooooo excited!

Vacation Time!!

For Tim's Birthday, I decided to take him to Six Flags because it is his "happy place". We decided it would be a Valentines/birthday present but after going we decided we don't want to have a reason for fun vacations! So when we were there we bought season tickets to the happy place so we can go WHENEVER we want! It was a long drive, and considering neither Tim nor I have any sense of direction, we borrowed my coworkers GPS. It made our trip so much more enjoyable but now that we can go all the time, we might have to invest in one of our own..

The first day we were there, we woke up to the pouring rain!! I was devastated to say the least! haha I was sure the day would be miserable in the rain. Tim being the overly positive person he is promised me the day would be worth the drive.. So we headed to Six Flags!

This picture was at the end of our weekend after roller coasters heat and adventure.
This is what we ran into when we got through the gates of rainy six flags! What an adventure!! haha this was during one of the only breaks in the rain! Since I am a 5 year old in a 21 year old's body I asked Tim if we could take pictures with the characters!

After taking pictures, we ran up the hills to this ride!! Which happens to be one of my favorite rides! ha it was the longest line we waited in the entire time, and we waited about 10 min! It was AWESOME!! Especially cuz I'm not a patient when it comes to standing in line, I would rather sit on the ground, and it was all rainy. It did smell really good though! I love the rain!



This line was the longest one in the park so we never got to ride it, but if you ever get the chance, its one of the best roller coasters in the world!


Because it was raining so hard they started to shut down rides, Tim and I decided to go back to out hotel. We bought a movie in the room and enjoyed watching ICE AGE 3! HAHAAH We then ventured out to find something to eat. We discovered this Japanese place that was probably the most delicious food I have ever had!!!! ha it was so cheap and you got to watch them cook it! They gave it to us so we could eat it in the hotel room.. we got one thing on the menu and could not finish it!! I know I know ...it looks absolutely nasty but it really was scrumptious!!




After the sun decided to come out, we went back to six flags and rode a few more rides!! Goliath is one of Tim's favorite rides. And we walked straight onto it!! I wanted to ride it a few more times but Tim said we should hit some other rides.. it did not take long to convince it was a good choice me when we started walking on every ride! I don't think I was ever so happy to be running around to roller coasters!

Tim and I had been on most of the coasters so we went on a hunt for a churro for Tim!! He kept saying how he wanted one so ... We spent 4 dollars on that overpriced piece of heaven!! Tim was ecstatic!! Hes such a sweetheart! I love him SO MUCH!


Once again I am a 5 year old in 21 year old's body... so we had to take a picture with the dancing six flags man! He was actually rather creepy.
AND....BATMAN!!! This picture is my favorite! Hahaha Batman told us to put up our dukes..and when the camera man counted to 2, Batman jumped as high as he could and screamed ATOMIC WEDGIE!!! Oh it was sooooo funny I could not stop laughing! I guess you do what you gotta do to keep the job interesting!
All in all, we had such a fun trip!! We had nothing to worry about all weekend. It was the first time we had been out of state by ourselves. I cant wait to go again!!


Things I have learned from movies.

I thought this was too funny to pass up posting.. and since I am a failure at updating our blog, I figured there was really no excuse to not share this. I believe someone sent this in an email originally, but I ran across it by accident. Enjoy!
