I remember the bread as well. As a kid that was THE thing to get. Usually you didn't even eat it, just carried it around all day long so you could take it to show your friends as proof you were there.

Also as a kid I was picked to pilot the River of No Return. That's alot of pressure for a kid.

The summer after my senior year I went on a date with the girl that would NOT be my wife (but not for lack trying).

We watched the Astros and the Cardinals play at the dome (both of us baseball fans) then caught the tram to Astroworld.

I can't remember the name of the water ride, the one where people that just rode it could stand on the bridge and get splashed by the current riders crashing into the water. I knew where the dry spot was where very little water would hit you, but she didn't. One of the most beautiful things I ever saw was her after being splashed while wearing a white linen outfit, now see thou.

I was admittedly a pretty innocent kid, so I was really torn as to what to do. Let's just say that helping her dry off was one of the highlights of my youth.

I went back a few years ago with my wife, and swore I'd never go back. I live in San Antonio now so we have Fiesta Texas, Sea World, and Schlitterbahn just up the road.

Geez, now I can't get the vision of my ex-girlfriend in the white outfit out of my head.
