Lagoon!

So last Saturday, I went to Lagoon with a whole bunch of friends. And it was awesome.  The end.




Just kidding!  We went as kind of a last celebration of a summer full of awesomeness.  We left Provo at about 9:30, and stopped at IKEA on the way up for breakfast.  They have these way sweet breakfast plates for like 2 bucks and they're actually really filling.  After that, we headed up to the park.  I'm actually kinda surprised at how much we were able to fit into one day.  We started with Wicked and Colossus at the one end of the park, and just rode pretty  much every ride on the way over to the other side.  We had a couple of food breaks, but other than that, we were just riding awesome rides all day long.

We finished up the day with a ride on the ferris wheel, then one more on the Samurai in the dark.  We had about an hour left, and we decided to go ride Colossus and Wicked as many times as we could before the park closed.  We ended up going on Colossus like 3 or 4 more times before they closed it.  All in all, it was a ridiculously fun day, although also crazy tiring.

So, funny story:  at the first food break, I'm waiting in line and I see that they have this deal where you can get a 44 oz. mug and free refills all day long for 12 bucks.  I'm debating with myself whether or not it would be worth it.  I figure, if I refill it twice, I'll have gotten my money's worth.  It turns out that  I ended up sharing it with everyone else in the group, so we refilled the mug 10 times!  Plus, now I have a mug that I can take to the gas station and refill.  I think that was a pretty solid purchase.

And that's the story of the awesomeness of Lagoon.


P.S.  I got Metroid: Other M yesterday, but I've only played it for like an hour and a half, due to work and school and other obligations.  My early impressions are that it's a way fun game, but with more action and less exploration than other Metroid titles.  Full review to come.

P.P.S.  I bought a Moleskine notebook at the bookstore today.  I don't really know what I want to do with it yet, though, so any ideas/suggestions would be welcome.  :)
