Family Vacation

This weekend we got together with two of my college roomates and their husbands for our annual family vacation. Since we've done this two years in a row we're begining to think it's a tradition! This year we decided to head to Dallas and have a fun filled day at Six Flags. As usual, things don't always turn out the way they are planned.

We arrived Friday night and I'm begining to believe the tradition is arriving late, in the dark, and getting lost. However, we all found our way and enjoyed being re-united. Saturday we hit the park early and rode all the major rides within the first hour and a half. This is the point where the plan fell apart. First, when we rode the Titan (their largest roller coaster) I blacked out... twice. We decided I was dehydrated so we had a water stop. When we got back in line for the Superman, Sarah got sick and got out of line. After being very ill Jonathan took her back to the hotel. About an hour later Clay was so hot that he couldn't ride the rides. At this point we were dropping like flies and called it a day.

While Six Flags didn't turn out the way we had planned we did get to hit the pool, have a nice dinner, and watch "Pirates of the Carribean". Overall it was a wonderful weekend with great friends. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful people who we love keeping in touch with.

On a side note, "Pirates" was a much darker movie than the first and not what I had expected. As Jonathan said, "Too much pirate and not enough funny." Well said!
