Six Flags

As part of my plan to gift "experiences" instead of "stuff," I bought our family Six Flags annual passes for Christmas.  In order for them to include free parking, we had to activate them during the 2016 season, and then they will be good for the rest of 2016 and all of 2017.   We went on a drizzly October day.  We drove separately so John could head straight to the airport afterwards.   I was feeling generous and made William a hot chocolate to drink in the car on our hour drive.   Bad move Mom.   The travel mug didn't fit in his car seat cup holder very well and it spilled on the floor.  That was an expensive cup of cocoa after the car had to be detailed to attempt to get rid of the rotten milk smell (attempt, because it didn't really work. . . )    This was the first time we had been to Six Flags on our own rather than for Deloitte Day.  The lines were quite a bit longer, so I'm glad we have the passes to go several times.  We loved the new Justice League ride; very Disney's Buzz Lightyear meets LEGOLAND's Lost Kingdom Adventure.   Looking forward to trying out the water park next summer, too!
