After dropping Colin off at daycare he took me to get some breakfast (and caffeine!), then we headed on our way. At first, I thought that he was taking me to the Inner Harbor or the Baltimore Aquarium, but he had me continuously guessing since we drove through 3 states! He would not let me look at the GPS, since he had entered the location himself (which is a big deal since the GPS is not his friend). That made it even worse when the GPS gave our destination away towards the end!
This was our first time going to a theme park together. It was so much fun! We enjoyed a day with just the two of us getting to act like kids! The park has some pretty good roller coasters. I was a little nervous at first because it had been so long since I had been on any rides. I was secretly praying that my body would handle it the same way it did when I was 20! I did fine. However, I think Will had a little surprise the first ride, The Comet. He thought the ride was going to be a little calmer than it was. There may have been a little screaming coming from the seat next to me! Just teasing...well maybe one "oh, $#*@!
Next we went on the Super Duper Looper - so not as scary as it looked. I was a little disappointed, but was still tempted to buy a t-shirt that said "I survived the Super Duper Looper"! As we were figuring out our next move, I saw the Tilt-a-Whirl! One of my favorites from the county fair when I was younger. Of course, I made Will go with me. We looked like dorks, because we were the only adults going without kids. Not to brag, but I am practically a pro at making the Tilt-a-Whirl spin, which may not be an attribute that Will is fond of! We were spinning FAST! Will was screaming and I was laughing (so much that I was crying) and I was trying to stop it from spinning but couldn't. Poor Will. Not his favorite ride. I really enjoyed it, even though I did feel a little queasy afterwards (so worth it though) Man, it sucks getting older!
I have never driven my own bumper car. I have always been the passenger. So, Will told me I had to drive one. I had so much fun! Even when I managed to get totally turned around and going the wrong way. For some reason all the kids were bumping me! I must have been an easy target. I tried to get Will but never succeeded. Next time!
For some reason we decided to go on a water ride. We were one of the rare few not dressed in bathing suits, but it was hot enough that we didn't care. We got soaked! I may have freaked out a bit when the water just kept coming down on us. I am not the biggest fan of water, so when it affected my ability to breathe, I panicked a little. My panicking just involves me having a death grip on Will's poor arm- sorry honey! Our favorite ride was a race one (something about thunder and lightning) that had a lot of drops and went really fast! Our least favorite was the Crazy Mouse. Not cool. It jerks you around, practically giving you whiplash AND you cannot see the track, so it looks like you are going to run off the tracks each turn and fall to your death. Definitely not our favorite. The last one we went on was a little too much. Usually rides give you a break between crazy twist and falls but not the Wild Cat. It never ended. We never got the chance to recover from each crazy drop. I was a little sick after that one and had to get something to drink. Luckily any queasiness never lasted long, but it is definitely a new experience to riding roller coasters. Sucky deal.
The rest of our time there we played some games (Will and I both won a little penguin stuffed animal that we gave to Colin), took a chocolate factory tour, and did a little shopping. All in all a great day together!
On our way home we stopped at this very cute Irish restaurant. It had such a nice ambiance and they had Guinness on tap, cannot top that! 
Will also gave me my traditional anniversary gift early. The 3rd anniversary is leather. He always gets me the perfect gift and this year he proved that once again! He orded me a custom handmade book/journal to keep little momentos, pictures and notes from my trips. The cover has a etching of Greece on it. It is so perfect...I love it! He chose Greece since I love Greek history, art, literature, mythology...EVERYTHING! I am really excited to start keeping little tidbits about each place I go, starting with Bahrain. Thank you, Honey!!
