Relaxation

OH what a wonderful thing relaxation. It has been 5 years since I have been able to do this. The thought of leaving town and not having any kids to worry about is beyond anything I could ever imagine. That is exactly what I did. With the help of my Wonderful wife. She planned an entire weekend without kids and just the two of us to act like kids. What more could you ask for. Worlds of Fun! Oceans of Fun! Royals baseball! Harry Potter! Fan(frickin)Tastic! The anticipation for this trip was unreal. Just the thought of it was unbearable. But we made it to the day and the weekend and let me tell you... I'm not as young as I used to be. The Parks were awesome!! The lines were aggravating to say the least. I think the entire 7 hours we were at WoF we went on 8 rides. 90% of which were Rollercoasters. Yea I'm not much on them but I did it anyway for my dear wife. Only 1 I almost fainted. Of course that was the one that took you half way up to the damn moon before it crested. Then it was a drop unlike any other I have been on. I have done dive bombs in airplanes and gone down the Orient Express when it was around. (That one had a hell of a drop on it) But all in all I survived to tell the story to my kids who will now be asking WTF!!! Why didn't you take us? Oh well someday they will understand. When God gets even. :D OoF was awesome. I was almost thrown from the tube slides twice. Talk about a thrill. I suppose as a precation they make sure and put that soft landing area underneath the slides. (Cause it's bound to happen sooner or later) Oh wait Nope! it's all Jagged rock. So I suppose if the initial fall doesn't kill you then your head hitting the corner of one of the rocks will. But even though that all happened it was awesome. It kind of takes a little more on a water slide to freak the shit out of you. That took care of that. All in all it was a great weekend. But what got me was the fact that the entire time we were away from the kids acting like kids we talked about them. Oh ____ would love this one. Oh ____ would love this one. So I suppose no matter how far away or how quiet it seems they are always with you and keeping you going nuts. Hell we couldn't even sleep in. No alarm clocks No Kids jumping around. No NOTHING!!! Still up at 7-8. Made my brain hurt. But it was great fun. I would do it again next year. Maybe we might take a couple of them with us....... NAHHHH! They would just slow us down. LOL
