Water Park of America and more!

First, let's start with the more.

I successfully rode my bike in to work this morning! Whoo hoo!! It was 4.1°, but the ride was great.. Hands and feet were fine. The beard had ice chunks in it though - I felt like an Arctic explorer (Shackelton?). The part of me that makes contact with the saddle is EXTREMELY sore! Yowsers! I hope that goes away soon enough.

On with the day: I'm currently on a charter to the largest mall in America, and on my way down here a friend asked me if I would go and check out the Water Park of America. I have always wanted to do that so this made for the perfect occasion, and I'm glad that I did!

They boast that they are the largest indoor water park in America and I believe it. They have a lazy river that is quite long that you can tube down. The water slides are incredible and there are tons of water activities, games, and spouts and jets of all kinds. They even have a giant barrel that fills up and dumps 500 gallons of water out o you ever 3.5 minutes! Included also, but oten down is a world class surf machine powered by three jet engines and running a price tag of $3 million! The time it was down before this current episode it was out of commission for two months. I wouldn't hold your breath for this attraction.

Admission is a little steep (around $30 for a day pass on the weekends, otherwise in the low 20's). They do offer military discounts, but I heard that the real deals can be found by booking ahead online where supposedly you can save up to 40%.

I hope to take the family there sometime!

Now it's time for a date with my wife and son!
