Riding out the Recession!

I had a Friday field trip. Jodie, Trinh, and I headed out of town and went to Bush Gardens down in Williamsburg. A bit pricey for this unemployed girl, but you've gotta get out and blow the stink off! It was my first trip to Bush Gardens, it's a very, very clean theme park.

Jodie and Trinh are 'coaster freaks. I draw the line at thing that drop you for the sake of dropping you, but I do like roller coasters. Jodie and Trinh aren't fond of anything that spins in a constant motion, and I love those rides. I did talk them into going on to the teacups - but they wouldn't get into a teacup with me as they didn't want theirs to spin extra. I was all alone in my teacup!

We made the mistake of going on the Roman Rapids very late in the day and got hosed. We were dripping wet for the ride home, all the other water rides we'd been on earlier in the day weren't as bad. Jodie and I took a direct hit under two waterfalls. I spent the rest of the day imitating a drowned rat.

Although from the pics, we seem to have had the most fun in the gift shop, despite the fact that we didn't buy anything (gift shops world wide must hate me, I rarely buy anything).

It's London calling!

Let's hear it for the War Lords!
