A good weekend all-in-all

This past weekend was SWEET!!!! Saturday was spent at the beach with some of the workers here at the office. It took us a little longer than was expected to get down there (on account of us missing the NJ turnpike three times in a row). But eventually we got there and headed almost straight to the beach. The weather was PERFECT, not so hot and humid as to make it miserable, but warm enough so that you needed to spend time in the water. What made it better is that the people I was with actually enjoy being in the water, as opposed to just laying on the sand for hours (I hate that). We played frisbee in the ocean, and it almost got lost, but we saved it in time. After the beach we all headed to a local diner for dinner. I got eggs (breakfast is always fantastic at NJ diners, no matter what the time of day). After dinner, some people left because they had to be back in philly which was understandable. However, Elena and I stayed at Amanda's house and watched some freaked-out 80's movie, while playing with her dog Nigel (he was awesome). Then I drove back Philly; it was a good day.

As if the weekend couldn't get any better, some of my friends came down from Scranton, PA and we all went out to Six Flags: Great Adventure. The first ride we went on was Superman......now i've had a season pass every year since I was 5, so out of all the rides, superman is actually my least favorite, but whatever. It broke. We waited too long. After that we went on batman (almost no line), Nitro (same deal), and then Medusa (no line at all), so we did make up for lost time. I hate how they charge so much for water at theme parks, its highway robbery. The girls we were with insisted on going on the log-flume, and guess who got to sit in the front, and as a result got soaking wet....yours truly! That was gay.....but again it was made up for by the fact that we got to go on King Da Ka, only the most awesome ride in the park. For those of you who don't know it's like the tallest rollercoaster in the world and goes from 0 to 128mph in like 3 seconds..........AMAZING, not to mention the view from the top of the coaster is breathtaking.

Afterwards we watched the fireworks from the parking lot and went to WaWa for dinner before we drove home.

I can't wait for these guys to come back to school again!
