Always Anna

And… I’m back. I missed you so much, bloggy. Let’s not be apart so long ever again.

Anyways, this last weekend was the kick-off to the summer for me. After “Spring Break ‘05″ in Montreal last weekend, I thought coming back to Boston would be a bummer. But, I LOVED THIS LAST WEEKEND. LOVED IT.

Saturday was a lot of fun - I went to a picnic/barbeque in CT. I actually got way too much sun (thanks to the topless Jeep), and am now sporting a lobster-ish sunburn. But it was cool to hang out with friends, play backyard volleyball and horseshoes, and eat in the sun. It felt so summery, you know? Then, late Saturday night, we decided to get up early on Sunday and go to Six Flags!

I may have mentioned before that I love roller-coasters, and think amusement parks are the best places ever, but I didn’t get a chance to really expound on that. So, here’s the deal… the Superman ride at Six Flags New England is the best coaster ever - 2.5 minutes, speeds of 77 mph, a 220+ foot drop - YEAH! I also LOVED Flashback (going backwards at 50 mph is NOT normal), the Mind Eraser (yes, it did what the name implies for a couple of minutes), and Cyclone (a rickety wooden coaster). AND the waterpark is so freaking cool - I am obsessed with the lazy river (called Adventure River here), and the Tornado, which shoots you (on a 2 to 4 person raft) out a tube, into a huge funnel that you spin down until you shoot out into the pool. Awesome. Freakin’ awesome.

Summer’s here!
