We have had a great summer enjoying all the fun that the Dallas metroplex has to offer. And when Charity and Noah decided to make the trek north for a quick visit before the start of school, we knew we would have to take them for a day of “More Flags, More Fun†at Six Flags in Arlington.
We arrived at the park around 11 A.M. and had to get the picture of our children in front of the welcome plaza:
We made our way inside the park and were greeted instantly with several characters ready for pictures…so of course we obliged.
Then it was off to the rides! We wound our way through Mexico and Spain, riding the Sombrero – twice – La Vibora, El Conquistador, and El Asseradero. We made a quick pass through Texas, stopping to ride the train around the park – one and a half times – before stopping for lunch at our favorite stop: The All-American Cafe. Though it was a hot day, we managed to keep cool by eating inside and staying well hydrated.
Then it was off to Aquaman, where we were thoroughly soaked from head to toe. To dry off, we decided to ride Tony Hawk’s Big Spin. Even Noah and Crisana were willing to brave the dizzying turns and spins. By this time it was mid-afternoon and we were all hot and tired, so after a stop in the gift shop, we headed out to the car to head home.
All in all, it had been a great day. Right up until the part where I threw up in the trash can in the parking lot. And on the George Bush Turnpike in Plano. And that’s all I have to say about that.
