Slip sliding away

When I woke up this morning, it sounded at first like it was raining. And, I wasn't feeling too good; the pulled pork sandwich from Piggy's was apparently a bad idea for someone who works in a kosher food pantry. So, we hung out for a while at the hotel since the water parks didn't open until 10, I took some drugs & we waited to see how my stomach was going to be.  After 30-45 minutes, I was feeling better, so we decided to go for it. There are lots of water parks here, some inside & some outside. We decided that as long as we were going to go, we'd chance the gray skies & go to an outdoor park. We decided on one called Noah's Ark.

It's still off-season & it was cloudy, so the park was almost empty. This was a good thing. We didn't have to wait at all on most of the slides, and Lacey only had to wait a little bit on the few that I refused to go on. The ones we did early on were good, but then, we went into some 4D movie which was lame, and it periodically shook the seats & blew wind & water at us. It was rather unpleasant & all it accomplished was making us cold. We really wished it had been warmer -- or at least sunny -- outside.

After that, I was really cold, so we went back to the chairs where we'd left our stuff so I could wrap up for a bit. (Lacey went to the wave pool so she didn't dry off too much while I was warming up.)  We then went on a few more rides -- a couple of which I fell off of at the end, & my knee got scraped up pretty badly.Still, Lacey convinced me to go on 3 more slides, & I kind of grudgingly went along. (I was really tired of walking all those stairs!) 

After our really fun day, we decided to drive, taking the scenic route while it was light out. We stopped at a little cheese store because I wanted to find out what these cheese curds that are so famous are. Frankly, we couldn't see what all the excitement's about; the cheese is good, but curds seem to be basically what happens when I freeze a brick of cheese & then take it out & defrost it & it crumbles as I start to cut it.

Tomorrow will be a long day of driving back to Michigan. We're going to go through the Upper Peninsula & see if there's anything worth stopping for along the way.
