The weather actually cooperated for the May long weekend! I had my MEC ride and a Bow Cyclists ride, and on the Monday we headed to Calaway Park. We got there for opening, and it’s a good thing we did.
It was warm, but not oppressive. The crowds weren’t bad, but were building. We got onto a few rides right away. Ian was finally big enough to go on the Storm, a high-speed ride that actually makes you go upside down. He’d been waiting for that for four years, but I think the experience was a little overwhelming. We did that, and then we did the roller coaster, and then he was done. That was okay, because we also wanted to go to Marlborough Mall where we visited a bookstore and had lunch at Smitty’s. But when we were leaving, we were amazed by how full the parking lot was, and then the huge backup of traffic out and onto the highway. It was causing a traffic jam on the Trans-Canada. I’m glad we weren’t stuck in that.
Gas, brake, honk. Gas, brake, honk. Honk, honk, punch. Gas, gas, gas.
Neat picture with Miranda and Tammy in the back ground.
