Marine World, Vallejo!

We spent the day at Marine World, Vallejo! celebrating one of the Boo's very best friend's birthday. During my time spent at that illustrious amusant park I learned three very important lessons:

1) You are NEVER too old to rock black lycra shorts!

2) Airbushed form-fitting tanktops look good on everybody!

and

3) You should never let the fact that you only have a quarter inch of hair stop you from sporting a festive headband!

I also had the following conversation with a very nice young man as we waited for our respective children to finish riding the Cobra for the fourth consecutive time:

Him: My daughter...not this one... my other one, from my first marriage... she used to love this ride too.
Me: Yeah. Second marriage?
Him: Yeah.
Me: How's it working out for ya?
Him: good. I mean, I'm much more mellow anbout this one.
Me: Yeah.... See, that's what I want.
Him: What?
Me: the second mariage. Except I don't want to have to go through the first one to get there, you know what I mean?
Him: Yeah.
[longish silence]
Me: You know what. never mind.
Him: {nodding sagely as our various children run up and begin to climb all over us} o.k.
