Next up was a trip to the U.S. National Whitewater Center. I literally felt like a kid in a playground as there were fun and physical activities everywhere you looked. We started off by going flatwater kayaking – but after about 20 minutes of somewhat pathetic paddling we found a small beach and ended up swimming and hanging out for a few hours.
We gobbled down a quick bite to eat and then headed to the main event: the whitewater rafting! We sat through a brief lesson and then got in our boat. I have never done it before so I was a little apprehensive. The first run around was a mixture of funny and scary as I didn’t know what to expect. I quickly realized that the worst thing that could happen was that I’d get wet at which point I relaxed. It was so unbelievably fun I can’t even describe it. I didn’t want it to end and now I feel more comfortable I want to take it up a notch next time!
We finished the day sipping 24oz cans and watching people fall out of their boats.
We were sun soaked and tired but we all put on our rally pants for a delicious dinner at Sushi 101 where we traded “worst wedding ever” stories – those who know me well will know I won this one hands down. After dinner we went over to AB’s for some dancing and late fun. I can't believe we were not kicked out - I'll leave it at that.
The night finally ended at 3am at fuel pizza with this glorious exchange:
Pizza man: “I thought we would see you tonight – and you brought your friends!”
Me: “Uh-huh”
Pizza man: “Is this a one slice or two slice situation?”
Me: “Two slices”
Pizza man: “I think a fountain drink may be a good idea”
Me: “Thanks for looking out for me”
