1st trip as Mr. and Mrs. (lots of pics!) Updated 9/29: TR Link Posted!!

[stacikristine]

I just love your pictures from your fun day!!! I finally had my first go cart experience this summer and it was a lot of fun...I'm glad you won a couple of times!!!

Once again you have picked out some great outfits and I think you will look amazing!! Can't wait to see pics and hear all about your ADRs!!

OOOH...I love me some Spectro too LOL!!!

Thanks! It was a blast. YAY! That's exciting--your first go cart! Doesn't it just get your adrenaline pumping?! Thanks! I can't wait to TASTE all of that wonderful food! I was really upset because I read somewhere that Spectro might just be on Saturday nights in the slow seasons, and that's the one night we won't be there. But it's not!! So we're excited!

I do too! I hope to make money from it someday! I hope to be a wedding planner!!

And I know, we're both getting so close! I'm so excited!!

That would be sooo cool! I'm sure you'd be great at it. You'll be leaving before you know it!

This past Monday night, Michael and I packed up after work and headed down to Dallas to spend the night with my grandparent. We stayed with my grandparents, and had such a good visit (they’re my Brazilian grandparents and I always love listening to their stories when I stay at their house). We were exhausted and found ourselves in bed before 9:30! But it’s a good thing, because the next day was fun, yet exhausting.

Since we got to bed so early the night before, we woke up bright and early Tuesday morning, and had to wait about 45 minutes for our alarm to even go off. We ate a yummy breakfast with my grandparents and headed to our college to take care of some stuff.

As we drove to DBU, it was like we were coming home! We met there, and we were in the same group of friends, and we just have so many memories at school. There is one huge addition to our campus, though! This is what we saw as we drove up.

They’d drawn up plans for the chapel sometime during our first couple of years, and even started construction for it, but it just became this massive reality since we’ve been gone.

This little building was what you saw when you drove to DBU back when I started school here. It looks so tiny next to the new chapel.

Personally, I don’t like it much. I mean, it’s beautiful, but it’s just too stark-white in my opinion. I think it would have been prettier as a red brick building (to match the others) with white trim instead. But I’m not the one that donated 16 million for it to be built!

After gawking at the new chapel for quite some time, we went to visit my (former) advisor. By the way, I FINALLY GRADUATED LAST WEEK!!!!! It feels great! Anyway, we went and visited with him for over an hour and then I got to spend some time with the ladies in my old office. I worked on campus for the Marketing/Design Department. I just love those ladies!! I would love, love, love to go back and work for them. Maybe someday…


After that, we decided to take a stab at selling my books back. I’d let them accumulate for the past 3 semesters since I lived out of state. Used to, they didn’t let you sell them back unless it was during a designated time period. But not anymore!! We were so excited when he said we could sell them and even more excited when he gave me a visa debit card with $122 on it! Yay for getting rid of books that I’ll never read again!!



Then, it was SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS time! For those of you who may not know, Six Flags is a theme park…they have them all over, but I’ve only been to the one in Arlington (near Dallas). Michael had only been to this one once (when he was 9) because he usually went to the one in San Antonio, and I hadn’t been in four years. We decided that we really wanted/needed some “us” time since we’d been bogged down with summer youth activities. We both love theme parks, so Six Flags it was! (PS if you’re in the Dallas area, they have $25 August Tickets…)

As we got closer, we could see this:

And then this:

And this:

And finally this:

**(Can you tell I’m practicing for the glorious Walt Disney World sign?!)


We looked like this:

I think it’s safe to say we were a little excited!

As we were walking up to the gate, we ran into someone from our town. It was so random. Apparently, he was there with the youth from his church. So we visited with him for a little bit, and headed in.


Right around 11:00 am, we headed into here:

Michael had never ridden La Vibora (it used to be called The Bobslead), and it was close, so we headed over to our first ride.

Let me just say, Disney is MUCH more friendly and accommodating. As we went to get in line there was a bouncer (I should have taken a picture!) making people put all bags and purses in these lockers that you had to pay a dollar for. What the heck?! Luckily, I was carrying my new VB mini hipster, and Michael had big front pockets in his shorts…so he just shoved it in his pocket. I would have been so frustrated if we had to pay a dollar for every ride!

Sorry…rant over. But Disney really is so much nicer.

Our ride was fantastic!! It’s a six person ride (you can have less) and we rode in the back with two brothers in front of us. The little boy was really cute. He kept saying, “This ride is awesome!!” Here’s a pic of the ride and one of us after we got off.

Great way to start our day! Oh—and this also started the trend of virtually no lines! We literally walked on to all but a few rides! Score on picking a non-busy day! Now, if only we can have that luck in September…

[stacikristine]

Next up was the Log Ride. I know it has some fancy name now, but I don’t remember it.

Note the yucky water. I felt like a snob (hi Emma!) all day. We kept pointing out things that were very un-Disney and talking about how we’re so excited for our trip. The paint on the railings was chipping off, and there was constantly trash left all around. Also, the TVs in the queue areas had weird things showing… They were very boring. At least at Disney World the lines are interesting!


Anyway… the log ride was super fun and then we wandered over to where we heard a cowboy announce that they were coming out with a Wild West Show at 11:30.

The show was cute. Nothing spectacular, but it was witty and entertaining.

Here are the “good guys”

After the show, they said they’d stick around for pictures. Well, a couple of little kids came to get their picture taken, and I think one mom was in a picture as well. Michael could tell I wanted to get a picture too—even if we were the oldest people to go up and pose! So we went up expecting to take a normal posed shot, and one of the guys hands me his gun, and poses me like this:

They were lots of fun! And one of the guys even recognized us later in the day!


I passed this, and just had to take a picture for you all.

Can we say “SpectroMagic Rip-Off”?! I saw a thing on the TV in line for it, and it’s a complete rip-off. They just use glow tubes instead of lights. I thought it was funny.


After this, we were starving and we headed over to Papa John’s for some grub. Let’s just say it was definitely re-heated pizza! I couldn’t even finish my piece. Yucky. But the bottled water was SOOO refreshing!


In order to let our bellies settle, we went to Yosemite Sam’s ride. It’s a cute little animatronics ride. I remember being so impressed with the figures as a little kid. It’s the story of Bugs Bunny and his helpers catching the “bad guy” Yosemite Sam.

I practiced taking these “no flash photography” pictures so I’ll be all geared up and ready to go next month!

Yay! Bugs saves the day!


Next up: Conquering the Giant. We headed over for Michael to ride the Texas Giant. I can’t handle this one. It’s a big, old wooden coaster, and it shakes me to death. With my bad back, it’s definitely a no-go. But he loved it!

But I can handle The Titan! This is the most incredible roller coaster I’ve ever, ever ridden! It’s just amazing!

I must confess, though, I’m not the young spry I used to be. I used to be able to ride this thing multiple times in a row. This time, I blacked out twice during our sole ride!! Just wait…this was just the beginning…


We spotted this handsome fellow and couldn’t resist posing for some pictures. *Side note, Michael was actually the one that asked for some pictures—including this one!* One little, two little, three little Indians!

We passed this little shop, and I had to take a picture for my mom. She’s OBSESSED with Peanut M&M’s!

After wandering around for a little while in order to regain our bearings, we headed over to Runaway Mountain. It’s an indoor coaster—and it’s completely black inside! It’s a lot of fun. Again, this one was one Michael hadn’t ridden before and enjoyed a lot.

Here’s one of the outside of the mountain. I must say, it’s pretty good in the theming area. I was impressed.

And this is Michael’s super creepy face in the red light in line:

I also have to say that it stunk like crazy in there!!! Just imagine a dark, damp cave where the only air circulation is the entrance. The waterfall created condensation inside, and it made everything musty. Mix with that the nastiness of BO that Texas summers create, and you’ve got it. Sick out! Thankfully, we actually had some air by the time we got on the coaster.


After that, we went to an indoor simulator/big screen ride. I think it’s called “Fly Me to the Moon” and features the little flies from a movie entitled that. I’ve never seen the movie. This used to be a space thing with real people or an airplane thing or something. We strapped in and prepared for our flight to the moon!

And we waited. And waited. And waited. And finally saw that there was a man looking for his phone that he thought he’d left behind in an earlier showing. After a good 5-10 minutes, he finds it, and we start the show. About 2 minutes in, the lights go on and we think, “You’ve got to be kidding me. That can’t be it.” Well…it turns out it wasn’t. But someone’s chair wasn’t moving like it was supposed to, so they had to start the whole thing over after they found new seats. The show was cute, and the shaking and rumbling and bouncing in the chair was fun, but we left in a pretty dizzy state.


We felt pretty dizzy, so we found a nice bench in the shade to park it for a while.

OOOOOOHHH Looks like you had so much fun! I'm jealous!! We have a little amusement park here. Its like smack in the middle of Downtown Denver so there's really not room for expansion. Tourists hate it, the locals love it. Six Flags bought it for a while and then sold it because its not that great! lol I haven't been in forever!! But your post makes me want to ride some rides!! Luckily I'll be at WDW soon!

 

[stacikristine]

When we were composed enough to get on another, we tried our luck at the Mini Mine Train. It’s definitely a mini coaster!

The Mine Train held a little more excitement.

There’s this little part where you go into a saloon and see these animatronics people and everything. It was always my favorite part. Well, I shot this on our way in

But by the time my camera processed that and adjusted to the “auto-flash”, it only got this inside:

Oh well. It was still cute. And very mild.


On our way to Gotham City, we saw one of those spinny things that you spin to win. We almost passed it up. But the lady was so convincing that we decided to go for it. While we were filling out the forms, she was asking us all these questions such as “Are you married?” “Do you make over $40,000 a year?” “Do you have a major credit card?” “Is your vacation time flexible?” and some other random questions. Well…we each took a turn at the spinny wheel, and we were both one click off from “WIN!” which would have gotten us 2 nights in either Florida or Vegas. They must have been really slow that day, and she must have really wanted to give away a prize, so she told us she would give it to us anyway!!! We didn’t really know what we were even winning, but we were excited! As it turns out, we got to choose from airfare and 2 nights in either Orlando or Vegas OR a 3 night, 4 day cruise!!! So, friends, it is with big-time excitement that I tell you…..
……….
………….
…………
………
We’re going on a CRUISE!!! Woo-Hoo! We’ve never been on one, and we’ve been trying to figure out when we might be able to go. And now we’re going---Free!!! Yes, we have to go listen to a time-share spheill for 90 minutes, and yes we have to pay a $150 cruise tax…but who cares! We’re going on an all-expenses paid cruise! We depart from Galveston, TX (which is really good for us b/c we can get there in a day) and I think we’ll cruise to the Caribbean. I don’t know all the details yet. Oh—and we also get a scratch off card during the spheill with at least $25 on it and up to another paid vacation! And a $40 credit card. So needless to say, we’re pretty excited!! We can use it any time in the next year. We’re thinking maybe April?? Any suggestions? I’ll let you know when we get the exact info all settled. YAY!! As Michael said, it was worth the $50 to get into the park!


On that happy note, we practically skipped over to Batman. This is an absolutely awesome inverted coaster. Again, I used to be able to handle it with no problem. Not so anymore. Even though we had a fun time on it, we felt really bad when we got off. We let everyone go in front of us, and then we stopped by the exit to take pictures of the next ride while we let our equilibrium get back to normal.

These are my favorites that I took:

Against our better judgment, we decided that we could also conquer Mr. Freeze. This ride goes from 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds. And then you whiz through the sky through twists and turns and, if I’m not mistaken, loops…all to land completely vertical up in the sky. And then you go backwards and do the whole thing in reverse! I used to LOVE this ride. But by the time we got off, I thought I was going to die. And if I didn’t die, I knew I was going to pass out. Thankfully, I did neither. But I can guarantee that we made a beeline for the closest bench. Michael’s entire face was completely white. He almost lost his lunch. And I was so dizzy I could barely sit. In fact, I had to lay down on the bench for a little bit. We were completely wasted—because of roller coasters!! I felt like a big baby. Needless to say, I didn’t get a picture of Mr. Freeze. I was too miserable to even think about a camera.

After we sat on the bench for at least 10 minutes, we felt like we might be able to walk again. We headed straight to the Cold Stone Ice Cream store and ordered a half sweet cream, half strawberries with graham crackers cup of ice cream. (Sorry—no picture…) It was DELISH! We slowly savored every bite and really enjoyed just sitting in the cooler air.


After our treat, we knew that we were in no way riding anymore roller coasters, but we could ride a couple of the non-coaster rides before we headed home. Let me say here that I was really sad about this. We’d yet to ride the coasters I grew up on. There were 3 that have been there for a really long time, and I can still remember the first time I rode each of them. But we absolutely knew that we could not handle it that day.

So we decided to brave the Roaring Rapids! It was a hot day, and we thought that a nice little splash of water might be nice. Here’s a picture of one of the groups coming in:

The closer we got to the entrance, though, the more we doubted our decision. Everyone was coming off drenched! We almost changed our minds right before we got on, but we decided to take the plunge (literally).

Oh my goodness. I have never gotten that wet on a rapids ride ever—except at a water park, of course! Every single person in our tube was soaked. We all “got it” so many times. By the time we got off, we looked like this:

I don’t think Michael had one dry spot on his entire body. I had one little patch of dryness on one part of my shirt. I had to carry my purse because I couldn’t put it against my soaking wet body! But…even though we got soaked, we had a lot of fun! I screamed and laughed and “tried to not get wet”—yeah right! But it was fun.


We decided to ride one last ride and call it a day. We headed towards the parachutes. I think it’s called Texas Chute Out. I remembered this being a much slower ride. We got up there, I snapped this picture,

and we came back down. And I almost lost my stomach. I think it was just because I was already so shaken up from the roller coasters. It was a gorgeous view though! We could see all over Arlington. I wish we could have just stayed up there for a couple of minutes.


After the Chutes, we decided to see when the saloon show was showing. It had started 3 minutes before we got there! Stink. We really wanted to see it, but we didn’t want to wait another hour for it to start again.

So we went back to the car, got our backpacks with our changes of clothes, and headed back into the park to change. It felt so good to get out of those nasty, wet clothes!


I’m almost embarrassed to admit this, but we left the park around 5:20. That means we were at the theme park less than 6.5 hours! I don’t think I’ve ever left while it was still daylight before. Oh well. Sometimes you just have to face the facts. And this fact was that we are not as resilient as we used to be.


As we headed home, we kept our eyes peeled for something to eat. We eventually saw a Zio’s and that sounded really good! Again, sorry…no pictures. I think I was still traumatized by the roller coasters. But I had Cheese Ravioli on a Net of Pasta with half marinara sauce, half alfredo sauce. It was INCREDIBLE! My favorite thing there. Michael had some kind of ziti with mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni, and chicken. He loved his as well. Oh—and the bread and dipping sauce was incredible! YUM!


On the way home, I read some of the book we’re reading out loud. It’s called Boneman’s Daughters by Ted Dekker. He’s by far our favorite author. We have a whole shelf in our living room for his books. This one is really good—but kinda creepy. If you’re a reader, I highly suggest you read one (or all!) of his books. He’s the most gifted writer I’ve ever read. And I’ve read a lot. Every time I read one of his books, I think to myself: “This man is a genius! I have no clue how he does it!” Anyway…we enjoyed our drive home.


It had been such a great day! Even if we couldn’t handle the roller coasters very well, we still had a blast just hanging out with each other! I’m so glad I married my best friend. Life would be so boring if I didn’t. Oh—and we won a cruise, which made everything even better!



Up next: Day 3 plan and clothes (I’ll post it by the end of today)

 

[crocko]

Fun Six Flags TR......it's the closest one to me, but haven't been there in a long while.

look forward to the rest (by the way, you guys take fun pictures)

 

[crocko]

Ted Dekker...I'll have to try one of his soon.

Have you ever read Monster by Frank Peretti? I enjoyed it.

 

[princess_momma]

Oh I'm posting at the same time as you! Must go read the rest of the six flags tr!

We had a lot of fun! Even if we did turn into roller coaster babies! YES! You'll get your ride fix in just a few weeks!!!

Fun Six Flags TR......it's the closest one to me, but haven't been there in a long while.

look forward to the rest (by the way, you guys take fun pictures)

You should take the kids! The Loony Tunes section is really, really cute! Thanks--we have fun with pictures!

Ted Dekker...I'll have to try one of his soon.

Have you ever read Monster by Frank Peretti? I enjoyed it.

Read the Circle Series (Black, Red, White, and soon to be Green). They are our favorite books in the world!! No I haven't...I read This Present Darkness, but that's the only one of his I've read. I've started House by Dekker and Peretti, though. It's really good so far. If you read something by Dekker, let me know how you like it!

Oh I'm posting at the same time as you! Must go read the rest of the six flags tr!

Haha! Yep!

First....

HOORAY FOR THE CRUISE!!!

I'm uberjealous!! I am planning on going on one is 2011!! What cruise line is it?

It had been such a great day! Even if we couldn’t handle the roller coasters very well, we still had a blast just hanging out with each other! I’m so glad I married my best friend. Life would be so boring if I didn’t.

And I think ^this^ is the cutest thing ever. I'm so happy for you. You guys have the best relationship it seems.

 

[jenny105]

Congratulations on winning the cruise! That's awesome! It was really nice of her to give it to you even though you didn't land on "win." You're going to love cruising. It's SO much fun. What cruise line is it?

We have a Six Flags here in NJ and the one you went to looks just like ours. Batman especially. It's probably the same exact ride! Sounds like you two had a fun day. I completely understand about not being able to go on rides like that anymore. We went to Hersheypark a few weeks ago and I went on everything and felt like I was hungover the next day. I thought I had a concussion!!

Thanks!! We're SOOO excited! We've never won anything like this ever! I can't, can't, can't wait! It's going to be either Royal Caribbean or Carnival. We'll find out more in a couple of weeks. Thank you We're so happy together. We thank God for bringing us together all the time. It's definitely not a bed of roses (I don't think any can be) but we really do have a good relationship. I'm very thankful for him!

I think it's either Carnival or Royal Caribbean...we'll find out for sure which one when we go to listen to that thing. I bet it is the same ride! I think they put them different places. Yay--I'm not the only one! I know what you mean...we felt completely wasted. And all we'd had to drink was water!

Oooh, I hope it's Royal Caribbean. Their ships are AMAZING! The one I went on, the Explorer of the Seas, had a inline skate track, mini golf, and an ice skating rink! Plus a Johnny Rockets!!

DAY 3: Tuesday, September 22

Tuesday, we’ll wake up bright and early to make it to Disney's Hollywood Studios by rope drop. We’ll eat a quick breakfast and get ready for a super fun day!

Here’s my outfit for the entire day (we’ll just stay at DHS until we’re ready to head back).

Here’s a close-up of the necklace. It was taken without a flash, so the colors aren’t perfect, but you get the picture…

Let me just say, this is one of my favorite shirts ever! It’s SOO comfy and I just love how it fits…


Anyway…


Once we get to DHS, we’ll wait on the Left side so we can be closer to Toy Story Mania when the rope drops. We’ll make a mad-walk to TSM and secure some fast passes for later in the day before we hop on.

I absolutely cannot wait to ride this! It’ll be a first for both of us! I am almost positive that Michael will beat me, but I’ll give him a run for his money…

After that, we’ll head over to Sunset Boulevard to ride Rock’n’Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. We’ll also try to get FPs for one of them when we’re eligible for another. We’re both anxious for these. I’ve never ridden ToT, and Michael has never ridden RnRC.

Once the “BIG THREE” are conquered, we’ll either go to StarTours or MuppetVision3D. I am worried about StarTours with the way I didn’t handle roller coasters or motion things well at Six Flags. I think we might be needing a little break (aka Muppets) after those 2 big rides. We’ll just see…and then we’ll ride whatever we didn’t ride next.


I have a feeling it will be about lunch time after this. So we’ll grab a bite to eat at either Starring Rolls or Studio Catering Co. (Any opinions?)


The afternoon will really be all worked around the different shows. We’d love to see as many as possible. I’m going to try to find the schedules before we leave and hopefully the show times will be at least close to correct. But as of right now, it’s up in the air.

We want to try to get in:

Beauty and the Beast (my FAVORITE! )
Lights, Motors, Action (I think we’ll both really enjoy this…I don’t think Michael has seen it, and I haven’t)
Studio Backlot Tour (Michael’s done this, I haven’t)
Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream (I really wanted to go through this, and then Michael was looking at attractions online the other day and pointed out that he wants to make sure we go to this too…so it’s official!)
Magic of Disney Animation (I’ve always loved drawing and I used to trace the characters in my Disney Books when I was little) And the Drawing part after the show

If we have time (which we should for at least some of these):

Voyage of the Little Mermaid (we’ve both seen it, but really like it)
Indiana Jones Stunt Show (I’ve seen it 3 times, but I don’t know if he has…Cars wins if it’s a showdown)
Possibly the sound booths at the Sounds Dangerous (just going in through the gift shop)
The Great Movie Ride (not a favorite, but it’s ok)


Sometime in there, we’ll be eating supper at Sci-Fi Drive-In! This was another one of those back-up restaurants. But after I showed the pictures to Michael, he decided he didn’t even want to try to change our ADR! So now we’re really excited about the decorations and just the entire ambiance of Sci-Fi. Any suggestions on food? I hear the cheeseburger is great!


We’ll head back to the resort whenever we feel like it. Depending on when we get back, we might take a dip in the pool or explore at AKL. Who knows…


We are both SOOO ready for this day! Michael is a huge movie guy, and he really enjoyed MGM last time he was here. I have loved it when I’ve come too, but it’s “my family’s” least favorite park. I think it might have been for the fact that we always had little kids with us before. I’ve always wanted to spend more time here, but the longest I have has been a ¾ day. So needless to say, we can’t wait for our DHS day!!!



Oh—and here’s an update picture from our countdown calendar! It was actually taken a couple of days ago…we’re over half-way finished now! Today, we're at 37 days!

 

[jenny105]

I love that necklace!

Maybe we'll see you this day! We're planning on doing rope drop at DHS this day too and making TSM our first ride!

The shows at DHS are all great. See the stunt show. It's great the first time around (after you've seen it more than once and you know how all the tricks are done...it loses it's luster!).

You've never been on ToT???? Best. Ride. Ever.

Stay away from the pasta at Sci Fi. I got it and it was COATED in garlic. Bleck! Everything else was pretty good though.

 

[jenjolt]

First of all...CONGRATS on the cruise!! You guys will have an amazing time! I have always wanted to go on a cruise and to win one...well that's just fantastic!!!

Once again I love your outfits, you have great fashion sense! I'm starting to think I need to start learning how to accesorize more with really nice necklaces...hmmmmmm...I might have to keep my eyes peeled for cute necklaces!!!!

I think your DHS plans look wonderful!! I'm also eating at Sci Fi...those burgers just look so yummy!!!!!!

 

[Dancegrl624]

Congrats on winning the cruise! That is so awesome! I love your mini TR from Six Flags. I went to Darien Lake on Tuesday with my mom, little sis and Maddie. It's always been known as Darien Lake, but Six Flags did own it for awhile. However, they decided to sell it back to it's original owner (or something like that) a year or so ago. I've been going there since I was little and it used to be so big to me. Now, it really isn't. I too kept comparing it to Disney. There was so much chipping paint and no one that worked there was friendly. I also couldn't stand it there people were walking around with just bathing suits on! It was not a pretty sight to see! I too "black out" a bit when I go on coasters. I still love them though! I've been "blacking out" on roller coasters that go upsidedown for quite a few years now. It never used to happen to me when I was younger though. Strange!

 

[khertz]

WOW, Congrats on the free cruise!! How exciting!! My sister just came back from a cruise to the Bahamas and had a blast. I bet y'all will have a great time.

I love the clothes you have picked, so cute. I'm such a bum at Disney. I'll be seen in sweats/shorts and t-shirts.
