188/365 - 16 Hours

That's how many hours we spent in the park today. 9am until 1am on Sunday morning. Some of the highlights:

Perfect weather - mid 70's all day long and overcast. It was a little cool during the water rides, but some shivering is part of the fun.
Roller coaster rides - The Millennium Force ridden at 10am and then at 10pm, with 4th of July Fireworks being set off the peninsula beach as the backdrop. Imagine soaring through the air at 90 mph, watching big bursts of fireworks in the sky.
Scott and the kids ride one of the original coasters, the 45 year old Blue Streak:

The new Starlight Experience, along the Frontier Trail. I love the look of lights wrapped around trees and the effect is immediately relaxing.




Yes, we were completely exhausted at the end of the day, but isn't that what fun is about?
