Free Day at Kings Island w/Tricia

Way back in the beginning of July, I had a chance to go to Kings Island for free.  All I had to do was volunteer for 2 hours at the park.  It was Free Military day, so all we had to do was get people to sign thank you cards that were sent over seas.  Nate had to work, so the first person I thought of was my friend, Tricia.  She was more than happy to have a day of fun with no kids.  We got there right when they opened, checked in, and then rode some rides.  We had to ride my all time favorite roller coaster, the Diamond Back.  It is 230 feet tall and gets up to 80 mph.  Tricia was a bit scared, but she loved it!
We had a lunch break (in the car with air conditioning) and then headed to the water park.  I was finally able to ride the infamous toilet bowl ride, which was pretty fun, esp. since I went down backwards.
Even though it was a hot day, I had so much fun with Tricia, and I hope I can do it every year from here on out.

And now the crazy, I-just-went-80 mph-hair
Love this ride, can you tell?
