Yesterday the family went to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. Ten of us covered in sunscreen, drinking gallons of water, tea, lemonade, Coke, etc. because we picked a hot and humid as hell day to go — 98 degrees with a real feel of 107! So riding a water ride was a no-brainer, right?
And then our six-person round raft made the first turn and water sloshed over us, across our laps and into our shoes. The next turn brought a series of waterfalls that dumped water on us while I frantically tried to protect my keratin treated, highlighted hair from being ruined by what I seriously hope was chlorinated water, (just from a safety standpoint.) I rode home for more than an hour in still damp clothes, sitting on folded towels in the car…
And then we changed into our suits and went swimming 😉

Well, my hair for one! And then my sister kept pointing out to me that her wicking top and shorts were almost dry while I was still sopping. Ah, family time…

No, just a photo I used from Pixabay to depict the ride. You’d have to take your own pictures…
