Vacation: Day # 1

Day #1:
Lake Compounce - New England's Family Theme Park

Today we got up early and headed out for a day of fun in the sun. We stopped at the Gold Roc Diner in West Hartford, CT for a hearty breakfast of eggs, toast and some creamy grits. After filling our bellies we completed the trip to Lake Compounce ready for some thrills and white water adventures.
I have to admit the day was full of surprises - I didn't think I would enjoy a water park full of strange people, I never thought Alex would go on a roller coaster that goes upside down, I never thought I would be able to feed the 4 of us dinner at the park for under $30! We had a great day and were on site 20 minutes after the park opened and left just before the park closed. I think Rebecca and I had just as much fun as the kids - the only sad part is that now that the kids have experienced big kid rides I don't think we will be making any future trips to Story Land - at least we have the memories!
