The Maximum Vacation, Part VIII

Day 8 – morning

With all of us working on varying amounts of limited sleep, we got up to go to Dutch Wonderland, a theme park in walking distance from our hotel.
This was Jadyn’s first amusement park experience, and overall, she had a blast.
She loved her first ride, which moves along at a decent pace then slams into high gear.
First, here I am getting her set up for the ride.

The smile says it all.

She wasn't too wild about this spinning one.

She did OK on this ride, which climbs to heights above our heads.

The good ol' carousel worked fine. However ...

Jadyn wanted to see someone who passed by while we were on the ride, and once we were off, she literally ran down Duke the dragon to meet him.

Right after lunch, I went back to the hotel for a nap, while Amanda and Jadyn hung out with a college friend of Amanda’s and her daughter and stayed until about mid-afternoon.
I’ll save the roundup for the evening on the next – and final – blog about the Maximum Vacation.
