August 2024 Part 2 - Visiting Family

 In the middle of August, I took off again and headed to northern California to visit my family.  My parents had just gotten back from an extended trip, so it was great to spend time with them and hear about all the fun they'd had.

But the main reason I headed up was Saturday.  I joined my brother and his family at Great America.  This is a theme park that I went to once as a kid, long before I was big enough to enjoy coasters.  So it's been a couple of decades.  I hadn't done coasters much in the last few years, so this was a lot of fun.  I'm discovering that I'm not quite as big on coasters as I used to be.  Sadly, I think it's an age thing.  But I did have fun that day, and it lead me to getting a pass for Six Flags Magic Mountain again.

Anyway, we also spent a little time in the water park attached to the theme park that day.

My family was used to going on weekdays, so going on a weekend meant the crowds were a little bigger than they were used to, but we still managed to hit most of the big rides.

Then Sunday, I was able to go to church with my entire family before heading back south again.

It was a great visit.
