Vacations

This year I've decided that instead of taking an actual vacation, I will take several mini-vacations.

I don't know what some of them will be but the first happened on Tuesday.

My younger sisters and I took a day trip to Paramount's Kings Island. We had a great time except for the fact that we went in the middle of the heat wave. We didn't have long just until 3pm central time. We pretty much stayed in one area of the park. So we could get in as much ride time as possible and very little walk time. We hit most of the newest attractions such as: Face Off, Drop Zone, Italian Job, and some of my old Favorites, Like Flight of Fear. Flight of Fear was hyped up big time when it was opened, and I believe the entire name for the ride was Outer Limits Flight of Fear. It opened up less than ten years ago. The interesting thing about the ride is it is a roller coaster that is totally indoors, oh and on as hot a day as Tuesday was, it was really cool because you get to wait in an air conditioned building for the ride. It's set up like a Flying saucer in a hanger, uh, you know, AREA 51. When my two sister's hadn't been on the ride saw the train take off, the youngest, Jax, had a look on her face like, HOLY CRAP! It was funny, she asked if it went that fast the whole time, of course I said yes. After the ride she said it was the ride that was the scariest for her. My favorite is the roller coaster, I love the trill and the death defying stuff. The great thing is none of my sisters could tell when I was scared or not, I'm a screamer, I scream from the time the ride takes off to when we pull back into get off. Hah! Well a good time was had by all.

My next trip, most likely will be to see the Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania. Now if you think that sounds silly, you must not know what it is. Anyone that's been reading my blog knows I'm a huge zombie movie fan. My favorite is the origional version of "Dawn of the Dead," which was filmed in an actual mall. That is correct, I will be visiting the mall the movie was filmed in. I know it doesn't look the same, the Ice Skating rink is gone, all that stuff, but, I will be there. That's the cool thing. I also understand that taking pictures inside the mall is against some unspoken rule in the mall, but that will be okay with me, as long as I get a shot of myself outside, which I am told looks very much the same. I will be taking this trip with one of my sisters who is also a big fan of the film. We thought it only proper to share the experience with someone who would truly enjoy it instead of going with people who wouldn't care.

Uh, it's almost time for Big Brother 6 and it's getting really good, I mean that Eric guy looked like he was going to kill somebody on Saturday's episode, I hope he gets voted out........

Oh, and the "Rent" trailer if available for viewing...Yeah!!!
