The adventure started at breakfast when Jackson celebrated by putting whipped topping on his Eggo waffle.
Once we were all dressed we headed to the Wild Adventures amusement park in Valdosta, Georgia.
Dominique was all smiles until I confessed that I weigh 300 lbs. just as we were getting underway. “You don’t weigh over 40 pounds do you?” I asked, pointing to the warning sign on the car in front of us:
She was ready to climb out before I told her I was just kidding.
The three of us got soaked on the Roaring Rapids. Considering the temperature was in the mid 90’s, the drenching felt wonderful.
We rode it twice back to back. The operator didn’t even make us get out of the boat for our second go around.
For much of the day I was a spectator. It seems I didn’t need to ride every coaster in the park. Maybe I’m growing up finally? Jackson and Dominique are in the very top car of this ride that went backwards, forward, then backwards again.
Several of the rides were nearly devoid of riders. No long lines in the sweltering heat!
We’re going back for another go tomorrow. Wish me good health and endurance!
Peace, people!


have fun………many years ago we went to a theme park in the rain, my kids spent hours going on each ride again and again as there were no long lines then either…….15 plus years later they still state if was one of the best days of their young lives!

Eggo is the brand name for frozen waffles. We pop them in our toasters and in a few minutes have a fairly decent breakfast.

I believe they’re manufactured by Kellogg’s.
