Were supposed to get up at 9:00 AM to get to the park by 10:00. That did not happen at all. Everyone was more than happy to get a few more hours of sleep. So we didn't get to the park until a bit after noon. The first ride we went on was the Mean Streak. This old woody had an amazingly short line. We were on in less than ten minutes. From there it was over to the Millennium Force, which took a little under an hour in line. After that we stopped for some lemonade. In doing so one of the guys dropped his iPhone. It landed face down and the front shattered. No more iPhone. Nothing anyone could do, and no reason to let it ruin our day so we continued with the rides. Then we rode twice on the Raptor, 30 minutes and 20 minutes in line. That is probably the best ride there. By that time it was 4:00 PM. So we had to head out for Chicago.
The drive out was pretty nice. The farm fields of Ohio and Indiana are quite charming. I do have to say my dislike of Gary Indiana stays the same. Sorry to the people who live there, but if you can avoid it. There is nothing there but ugly factories and power stations. Plus every time I have been through there the toll roads are being worked on, so you have to slow down. Not worth it at all.
We drove a little north of Chicago to go to Evanston. Our friend Rich was letting us stay at his place. He also took us out to a little pub down the street. Which was a very good thing as we hadn't really eaten anything on the road. We were very ravenous by the time we got the burgers. There was much rejoicing. After that we went back to Rich's place and watched Buckaroo Banzai. That movie is awesome. When the movie was over we went off to bed.
