i love rollercoasters
Got back from Dallas yesterday. We went to Midieval Times, and I got to eat a really big piece of chicken with my hands in the dark and watch guys on horsies do stuff. It was fun!!
We stayed at this bed and breakfast (that was my present to Jake) which was super super nice and we had breakfast the next day, then went off to Six Flags over Texas.
It was hot as hell as it usually is in Auguest in this godforsaken part of the country... and it was also crowded as hell. Six Flags is evil. It costs so much to get in and then they totally rape everyone with all the drinks, food, "souveniers", etc. Completely evil. It's sickening. But unfortunately they have great rollercoasters. Damn them. The last one we rode, the Titan was awesome. We rode in the very front and it was like flying!!!!! Weeeeeeeeee! I love roller coasters.
After that we were really exhausted, and we went back to our giant comfy king-size bed at the bed n breakfast (we sleep on a full-size at home) and crashed for almost 4 hours. Then we made ourselves get up because we felt like we should be doing something since we were there. Plus we were starving.
We went to look for some place to eat and instead found a circus sideshow. Yeah, a real sideshow. Like in old timey days. There was this Mexican guy that was covered in hair, who they called "The Wolfman". Sound pretty immoral? Well, they made sure to tell us that he is able to support his entire family with the money he makes here, and he seemed happy to do it, so... there you go.
Another guy lifted a beer keg with chains that hooked into his earlobes. It was gross. Another guy put nails all the way in his nose. Another guy swallowed swords. There were no grotesquely deformed people though. :(
We were leaving the next day (yesterday), but before we went home I wanted to go do something else, so we went to the Dallas World Aquarium, where they had monkeys and birdies and manatees (yay!) and turtles and fishies and otters and penguins. I loved the little marmosets with their teeny tiny human faces. One of them looked at me and made a little sound.
