Ok, before everyone thinks we've gone off the DEEP
edge and thinks we are totally INSANE (no comment, please Gina) - VBG!!!
This message was in my "out-box" on Rick's lap-top from our vacation last summer
in CA. We tried to send e-mail the conventional way & it did not work
with the ISP... now, we used a temporary dial-up through a new temporary AOL
account (we are currently at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Anaheim) and I signed
on and didn't realize that this message was still in my unsent outbox. Oh
bizarre! Anyhow, so this isn't a total waste... it is a bit off topic,
here is a synopsis of our trip so far that I sent to a couple of work buddies
back home:
(we just got back from spending the day at
California Adventure)
******************************************
Greetings from Anaheim,
We left AZ Saturday morning. Destination =
fun/thrills! Arrived in Valencia, CA last night! Awoke early this
morning and opened the park @ Six Flags - Magic Mountain. NINE roller
coasters later, we are SORE! But, WOW - what fun! And we didn't even
imbibe in ALL OF THE EXTREME thrill rides! :-) With rides with names
of the likes of "Psyclone", "Scream", "Viper", "Goliath", "The Riddlers
Revenge", "Revolution", etc... you can imagine! Some of the thrills
we were delivered were a 78 foot cobra roll, a zero 'g' roll, a 128 foot
vertical loop, speeds up to 85 MPH, heights on the coasters of up to 235 feet
tall, double dips, double & triple vertical loops, heartline spins,
interwoven corkscrews, hairpin drops, amazing helixes & massive positive
g's! Whoaaaa.... and that is on a small bit! Too much fun
& one place I'm ready to go back to again SOON!
After 4 hours at the park & time to hop back in
the Expedition & head back south on I-5 for Anaheim. Ask Rick, I'm
terrified of driving on the freeways in the Los Angeles area! Today was
HEAVY traffic & it was Sunday... go figure! But, for once I did not
grab onto the "JC" handles in the car... this was likely due to the fact that
I'd been duly primed by the rides earlier and now the Southern California
highway system didn't seem quite as intimidating as it had just
yesterday!
Tomorrow we do Disneyland, then California
Adventure... (I imagine "tame" compared to today). Then Friday
morning we are off to VEGAS to hook up with good friend Andrea & her brother
Jeffrey for 3 days & nights of extreme fun at the Venetian! There is
an even more extreme coaster called the "Desperado" at the Stateline in Nevada
that we are dragging Andrea to, it is supposed to be more X-TREME then the ones
we just went on. And for Valentine's evening, we are going to the Elton
John concert with Andrea & her brother in Vegas! YEAH!
Ok, so this didn't get sent yesterday, it is now
Monday & we've just finished Disneyland for the day... we've walked
like 10 miles in two days - so we are off to do a much need spa! Tomorrow
is California Adventure... Seems hard to imagine that here I am, 43 years
old & I've never been to Disneyland until now! Fun to be a "kid"
again! :-)
We miss our kids... but are having too much
fun!
Yanna & Rick
(the adventure kids)
