Howl-O-Scream

Busch Gardens was so much fun! They had about 5 awesome haunted houses and 2 shows and just walking through the park at night was cool with all the ghouls and stuff that jumped out at you. The park was open at 10am - 5pm as the regular park and then we came back (and shelled out the extra $$$) after 7:30pm for the Halloween stuff. It wasn't lame at all but it wore us out. We were walking all day (about 12 hours) but I love amusement parks. It gave us a chance to get away from the hurricane crap and work. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, 75 degrees during the day and about 60 at night. It was nice to be back to "normal" and not have to see hurricane coverage on TV or fight for a spot in line at the gas station.

Driving back home was a long drive, usually it takes us 3 1/2 to 4 hours but it took us closer to 5 hours. It rained the entire time and as we got closer to home you can still see the buildings and signs all tore up. A lot of the highway signs were down, but luckily we knew are way back (hell, we have season passes to the damn place!). You can still see where there is no power and I just heard that school in our county is cancelled until at least the beginning of next week because of power and safety issues.

I'm not looking forward to going back to work. I have to be in to open the restaurant tomorrow morning (bright and early at 6am). I need a new job. Jon has gotten a couple of calls from posting his resume. We'll see what happens....
