My 1st visit to any kind of amusement park in over 10 years

My last trip to an amusement park was a few hours at Hersheypark prior to a Van Hagar concert at Heysheypark Stadium in the summer of 2004. I had no plans to go to one again, until a friend invited me to Camelback Mountain Adventures






Although I didn't care if I went on any rides, I did manage to go on the Mountain Coaster. It's interesting how so many people from New York City come to PA to escape the chaos of the big city, while I go to New York to escape the boredom of small town life.

From now on, when I think of Maui, I will think of Sammy Hagar!




Well, the trip was pretty much over and on the way to the gate, I heard the soundtrack to my life.....5150! Now I expect to hear DREAMS, WHY CAN'T THIS BE LOVE and maybe BEST OF BOTH WORLDS or LOVE WALKS IN in public places, but NOT the title track to the album I've listened to more than any other. It took a few seconds for my brain to register what I was hearing and I looked around and saw Sammy's. I then realized that it was one of his theme restaurants so I spent a few minutes looking around. It's not my kind of food (similar to Hard Rock Cafe), but what an odd end to another great trip I will never forget.
