I had read the reviews online prior to going so we knew it was going to be crowded. The problem is people are just plain rude. If everyone waits their turn one can see everything. However, this was NOT the case.
We would wait to see a certain fish and as soon as the previous guest would move,someone would push us and go before us. It was so loud that Tim and I could not even talk about anything (he has a great knowledge of aquatic life and I love to listen to him tell about a certain type of fish and what they do etc...) I got sooooo frustrated I just started snapping pictures so I could enjoy the sights later I took approximately 200 pictures in 2 hours. No I will not post them all but I will post a few of the better of them.
Tim tried several times to desperately take a picture of me and I of him and people would push through us or around us and mess up the picture. These are horrible but we did manage to snap a couple that were not completely blurred.
It rained all day and we decided we did not want to sit in a rainy stadium and chance a long delay or possibly even being rained out soooo we decided to go back to the hotel and watch the ball game from there. But first, we toured the old places we use to live, work, and play. We were amazed how much it had all changed since 1987. Brought back a lot of memories of the boys and our year at Six Flags with them (literally)there was not a day that year we did not go with them if it was open. We reminisced about how we thought back then that we HAD to show them a good time and make memories for them. We laughed because we had a conversation with Mickey the other day and he remembers very little about that whole year and the following year in West Palm Beach. I will Blog about their childhood and the memories I have and wanted for them later.
Anyway, when we got back to the hotel... lightning had struck the cable station and the cable and internet was out. We wandered around a bit and then decided we would check out and go home. The guy at the front desk told us we could not check out because the internet was down. Tim told the guy that he might not look like much but he knew there was no way he could make him stay against his will. The man laughed and said you are free to go but I can not check you out until internet is back up. Tim asked him if we needed to pay him anything, he said no it is already charged to your card. Soooo, we left. It was very funny. We got home in time to see the Braves game 4th inning in the comfort of our own home.
