It's Thursday, our day off and we slept until 11 am. Then we went to Knoebel's Amusement Park to ride a roller coaster. Last visit there was on Jeff's birthday and we rode the Twister. Today our mission is to ride the other wooden coaster - Phoenix. It is a fabulous coaster where everyone tells us you float most of the ride. Oh yes, it is a great coaster with up and down bumps that send you right off your seat. Jeff was sitting on his hat and we were screaming and then it was over and we came speeding into the station and right past the stopping zone. It was all so fast that the operator decided to send us right out again. The second ride was just as intense as the first and this time Jeff's hat flew right out from under his tush, never to be seen again. The coaster was originally at a park in San Antonio, TX and moved here in the 1990's.
Later we had ice cream sundaes and listened to some oldies in a live show. Next stop was the carousel where Jeff and I each grabbed four brass rings. Oh the memories.
A great day and tomorrow we are back to work.
