The Three L’s Travel The West

Today we decided to sleep in a bit and then head over to Cadillac Ranch and Wonderland Amusement Park.  We picked up Stacey and headed out.  It was so hot and windy today. 

After having a great Subway lunch, we drove out to Cadillac Ranch.  I must say, I was disappointed.  I don’t know why I expected more than just 10 cars stuck in the ground.  We didn’t know that the thing to do is to bring out cans of spray paint and paint the cars.

 After Cadillac Ranch, we headed to Wonderland Amusement Park, located on the other end of Amarillo.  We arrived there around 2PM, and were impressed with the ride selection.

The rides there were great.  Better than your fair or carnival.  There were three roller coasters, and Louie and I road them all.  I think Louie and Stacey rode all the rides, with the exception of maybe two.  We were there all day and finished off the day with sharing funnel cakes. 

We took Stacey back to Janice’s house and hugged her goodbye as she is leaving for home tomorrow.  Then we left to head back to April’s for a late dinner and some sit down time.  I made it almost all the way back there without asking for directions.  Amarillo is very easy to navigate around, as long as you know North/South/East/West. 

We had a light dinner of ham and cheese, and some grapes.  Got the children to bed by 10PM; April and I spent some time chatting, but she has to work tomorrow, so I told her to get to bed.  She told me that we wore her out with all our activites.  I replied that my work here was done and we could move along.

Sunburns for Lynnae and I today, and a little dehydration for all.  I’m sure Dasani stock rose with as much water we were drinking, and yet we were still thirsty at the end of the day.
