One more of the falls from last night...fun with shutter speed. We are done being tourists as of this afternoon. We have killed zombies in a 6D ride, gone on a 6D or 4D roller coaster ride (that was fun), we have gone on the boat ride on the falls, played Mini golf, and took a ride on the aerocars (see below) we viewed the falls from a sky wheel which was cool. We dumped money in an arcade which made the boys happy, and the last ticket on our "adventure package" was a wax museum...not too impressed. Last night we hung around the falls to see the falls lit at night and waited for the fireworks. Yesterday we stopped at the Floral clock and while eating a picnic lunch a group of exotic cars (rentals) went by. The boys were thrilled. We caught up with them again when they were stopped and got to snap a few photos. The last side trip today was to "Bird Kingdom" not a bad place and two aviaries where the birds were flying around. We walked these kids (who never walk anywhere) into exhaustion. They are usually up early but had to wake them today.
Sounds like you crammed in a lot to help keep the economy going. Did Rick find any good local beer to his liking?
He brought some along...I encouraged a stop in the beer store yesterday, but he didn't bother. We've eaten in just about every meal, but will venture out tonight. Maybe he'll find something.One of the kids with us only eats, nuggets, hot dogs and fries, pizza and ham sandwiches. Eating in just made more sense and left more $$ to dump into the tourist traps.
We hopefully have shown them a good time and created some memories, however, Rick says "once and done."
^7-1-2018. Me in my new Bell Catalyst helmet. If people don't see me on the road in my bright pink top and fluorescent green helmet there's nothing more I can do in the daytime.
Don't enter that lake! It has been recently contaminated from overuse.
Yeah, I did see on the news a few days ago that it was closed to to e coli. No surprise there. The public is allowed to use one tiny area that is pretty still, without the waves associated with boat wakes to stir it up. Beaches inside the Dana Point, CA harbor have been closed for the same reason. I like the look and the sound of the area but don't want to go in the water.
At the Cape Cod Canal for a summer evening stroll, picnic and photo taking. This fish was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but the right time for the heron and me and my camera. I could take pics of these birds all day long.
