More Photos and Fun
Hello again bloggers,
I have been busy taking some great photos and a little R&R.
First the photos. I decided that the old saying is true. A picture is worth a thousand words. So I have spent a few days taking pictures of San Luis Obispo. I retraced my steps, and took photos for some of the subjects I have already written about, and some photos of things I might write about in the future.
also took some time off for a little fun. I loaded up my family, and a few extra friends, and took a trip to magic mountain.
One of the things I really enjoy about living here, is that I am centrally located between Los Angeles and San Francisco. If you head inland a bit you also are close to San Jose and Bakersfield.
Magic mountain is by Simi Valley. It takes about three and a half hours to drive there, going through Paso Robles and on Hwy 46 to interstate 5, and head south.
I didn't take pictures because there are allot of water rides and I didn't want to damage my camera. I will include a link for you to check out everything Magic Mountain has to offer.
They are famous for their roller coasters. There are standing up ones and sitting down ones, they have some amazing rides. We stayed from the time they open (10:00 am.) till the time they closed.(10:00 pm.)
I had heard allot of bad things about the park. I also read up on the internet about problems with gangs and weapons. We went on a Wednesday, and had no problems at all. Everyone was friendly, visiting and having a good time. I never felt uncomfortable of threatened.
The park is up for sale, so go, before they turn it into a housing track.
If you look on the Coke cans, some of them have a two for one offer for the park, so the regular price for an adult is usually $60.00 so you get two people in for that price, $30.00 each. I pay that much at a carnival for the rides.
Let me just say, It was worth it. We all had a blast. You can definitely loose your cares there. I recommend it to any one that like coasters.
Here's the link,

I'll be posting some new pictures throughout the website, so you might want to look around again. If there is anyone who wants some photos sent, let me know.
