Amusement Parks

Finally, I went to Knotts Berry Farm!

Can't believe it took me years to see it....shame on me! We got there shortly before noon. My husband and I thought that we should go around and check the stores first and go to the fun zone afterwards. We went from store to store and finally hit the Knotts Berry Farm candy store. I'm not a big fun of fudge but.... I swear theirs is really good. We sat down on the bench outside the store and gobbled it.

It was almost past 3pm and realized we haven't had our lunch. We decided to have early dinner at the Knotts Berry Farm famous chicken restaurant. The line was already quite long when we got there and took us almost an hours' wait to get in. Whew!...that's what you call for the love of chicken!...LOL. It was worth the wait though. We got our orders fast and we were both happy with the taste and quality of the food. Our server was very courteous and attentive. At the end of our meal our server gave us 2 choices for dessert: apple pie or boysenberry pie. Of course...we picked the latter and it was a good choice! My husband was raving about how good it was.


We headed back inside Knotts and walked to the fun zone. I was so tempted to get into one of the roller coaster ride but hesitated. I guess that happens when you're old.... it would have been different if I was in my youth. We took the log ride and had a blast especially my husband. Infact, he was begging me to go for another ride. Can you believed that! Oh well, he's such a big kid. We rode the "choo-choo" train that took us around the place, and also the one that goes inside the mining trail. We then headed to see the Perilous Plunge. OMG!..... you have to be young and a thrill seeker to get into this one. You have to pay me big bucks to take this challenge. It is so facinating to watch these young kids go for this ride without hesitation.

After seeing all the scary rides we headed infront of Knotts City Hall and watched the instuctional dance.

We took a couple of pictures for remembrance and headed home at almost 7pm with a smile on our faces.

All day we felt like kids .... careless and just having pure simple fun. It is the kind of feeling that you would always want to go back to :-)
