Cool day at an amusement part with tons of fun

On Saturday, I was one of the fortunate ones who got to visit a large amusement park a day before its opening day. Practically everything was paid for, except for whatever gifts and snacks that I wanted.

The crazy thing is that I haven't set foot in the amusement park since I was an undergraduate student. Back then, my mom had a season pass. We went as a family once. I went there a couple of times with friends. It seems like eons ago.

The downside was that it was a cool 7°C on Saturday with wind that picked up as the day progressed. Riding fast rides under such conditions was trying. However, I had a fun at the arcade playing Pac-Man. I also enjoyed visited the various gift shops, candy stores, and more.

It was generous that I got two free tickets to revisit the park this year. I will definitely give it a try when it doesn't feel like winter! I don't recall ever going to this amusement park wearing a winter hat, mitts, and coat.

On a good note, I had a ton of fun and met a bunch of cool folks. With free tickets, perhaps my guy can join me.

A is for April Fool's Day on Google Maps - #AtoZChallenge (AC)

It's April. This year is flying by! Unfortunately, it still feels like winter here. I got snow in my area a day or so ago.

Today is the first day of the A to Z Challenge. I hope that you'll enjoy reading along this month.

It's also April Fool's Day. I am a huge fan of Pac Man and all its derivatives.

Well, Ms Pac Man is making an appearance on Google Maps. You can actually play the game in your neighbourhood, provided that the grid is challenging enough for you to play.

You can play it either on your desktop computer or laptop, or on your mobile device. This screenshot is from my Google Maps app:

I just tried it and it's fun! Thanks, Google!

P.S. The (AC) in my blog post title stands for Adult Content. It means that my blog has adult content that may not be suitable for those participating in this challenge.
