Chris and I had a very nice day together. We went to California Adventure right at opening so we could ride Tower of Terror again. Loved it still! We then walked over to the big roller coaster, California Screamin' but I chickened out. I used to love coasters and exalted in the feeling of being scared. But then I got pregnant back in '98 and after we had Tabs, we never went to Magic Mountain or Knott's Berry Farm anymore to ride the big roller coasters. So for the last 6 years, I've mostly ridden very tame coasters like Space Mountain and Thunder Moutain. When California Adventure opened a few years ago, I rode California Screamin' which is pretty big though nothing like the insane drops you see at some theme parks. I've only ridden it twice, but I always feel really yucky afterwards and that kind of detracts from the enjoyment of the ride. Then today, I just didn't want to ride because I don't like the launch at the beginning of the ride. So, I didn't ride. Now I feel like I've developed this fear simply because I haven't ridden those types of rides in so many years. We need to go back when there is close to no line and get me on it before I have a chance to think about it. Then we need to go to Magic Mountain and ride them all.
Anyway, after Adventure, we stopped for lunch and then went to the Dodger game. They ended up losing, unfortunately, but we had a pretty good time. We came home afterwards and had a light dinner, played some golf on the Game Cube and then watched Intolerable Cruelty which was weird but very funny. Right now we're just waiting for Tabtiha to come home. Their plane has landed and they should be here very soon.
