Six Flags

My friend Kelly and I decided to go to Six Flags in Denver today. We bought season passes and had yet to use them, so today seemed perfect. It was also a big day for me, with two firsts. The first "first" happened this morning before going to the park. We were hoping to make the water park a big part of the day, so I had to finally break down and buy a suit. Last night I went to Kohl's with the intention of looking for a bathing suit, but an hour and $100 later, as I was walking to my car, I realized I totally forgot to look. They were just having way too great of sales, lol. Anyway, this morning I went to Target to look. I knew I probably wanted a tankini, and the bottoms would have to be the skirt kind. I found the bottoms, but there really weren't any black tops that I liked. So I took a chance...and tried on a bikini top...and to my surprise, it actually looked decent! It's the first bikini I've owned in about 15 years.

So onto the park... after working out and eating, we got to the park around 12:30. We stood in line to get our season passes, we stood in line to get through the gate, we stood in line for the lockers, we stood in line briefly for the bathrooms before deciding to wait, and we stood in line for the only two rides we ended up going on. After the second water ride, it was getting cloudy and cool, so we decided to go over to the roller coaster part of the park. Here's where the second "first" comes in. I walked around with just my shorts and the bikini top. Yes, that's a big deal to me. Being in the water park was okay because there were plenty of other people who looked way worse than me in a bikini, but in the regular part of the park, most people were wearing normal clothes. I got some dippin' dots (mmmm....) and Kelly got a coke and we walked around looking for rides. Unfortunately, it was starting to rain and thunder, so lot of the rides were shut down. The ones that weren't had horrible lines, so we decided to call it a day and go home. Next time we're getting there when they open at 10.
