Trip to DC and Adam's Visit Part 2

Day two started off with a bang... not really. The night before we had the fun adventure of having our driver's side window quit working while it was down. It had just started to rain when this happened and we had two hours of driving to do to get back to Richmond. After 15 minutes of driving we decided to pull over to a gas station and Josh and Adam managed to get the window up halfway before the gas station turned its lights out on us. Luckily it had pretty much stopped raining by the time we started again, so the ride wasn't as bad as it could have been. Anyway, this is us the next morning angrily taping up the window (a momentary fix) so that we could take a trip to King's Dominion.

Before King's Dominion we HAD to stop off at Waffle House for Adam's first experience. The place is fabulous! The little space in the two walls behind Josh and Adam is where the old dirty waitresses come and ask, "What'll ya have hon?"

Next stop... KING'S DOMINION!!!

The first ride of the day was a great lookin' wood one. It was pretty awesome, but Adam and I were in agreement that it hurt a lot.

Here we have what is called the Anaconda. It really did look like a snake and it was out over the water which was fun. There is even a tunnel that goes down through the water.

Then, of course, we have the Dominator. Highly enjoyable with the most twists and turns I think I've ever been on. I don't know what I'm doing in the picture so please just ignore it.

After going wild all day in the park we took a little break to go to the top of the "Eiffel Tower." We timed it just right and managed to catch the sunset. It's amazing how many trees there are in Virginia. Amazing.

Before our trip up the "Eiffel Tower" we had noticed the beginnings of smoke machines being turned on throughout the park, and after coming back down we immediately discovered the thrill of taking pictures in the fog.

After many minutes spent playing in the smoke we headed over to what was going to be one of our last rides. The map we had of the park had rankings of the rides and our goal was to ride as many of the high ranked rides (5's) as possible, which this one was.....n't. Instead it was some gay haunted house that wasn't even scary and we waited in line for way too long and witnessed too many muffin top boobies. (I will spare you the details.) This is what we did to pass the time.

So, after waiting in line for the dumb haunted house we came to the conclusion that the once nearly empty park was beginning to fill up for the Halloween activities and decided to make our way back home. Our heads needed the break anyway. And that ended our second day of non-stop walking. We were all very thankful to return home for a relaxing evening. You can see how Adam enjoyed his on the bed Josh made for him. (Couch cushions, camping pads, sleeping bags, and a sheet to hold it all together. It felt like a real bed.)

Lastly we have a video Josh took of "The highest ride in North America." The video doesn't do it justice, but it was REALLY high, and REALLY fun. Oh, and sorry it's sideways.
