Recently I have been able to take in not one but TWO awesome water parks here in Southern California:

 

Raging Waters with Courtney, and my friends Jolene and Ryan. (Here's Courtney's post about it ). It was awesome it was the first time I've ever been there. Highly recommended, dude.

 

And Wild Rivers with Courtney, my brother and his girlfriend Jen, her sister Jill and her boyfriend Eric (and his little brother) after work one night. Wild Rivers has this awesome deal where you can pay $55 dollars for everyone that you can pack in a car, which comes to $5 to $10 bucks per person if you have enough people in your car.  

 

 

There is just something so awesome about sliding down a winding wet slide as fast as possible before your body is flung into a pool of cold water. When I was younger me and my friends would often perfect our water-park-riding-skills at Wild Rivers when our parents would buy us season passes for the summer and let us loose to go have fun. Those were some of the best summers that I can remember and I think its never too late to be a kid again, so before the summer is over go hit up a water park near you when you get a chance!  

 

I'm not sure if I will be able to go to any awesome water parks on my road trip across America (as summer is ending and we are headed North first), but I would love to stop at this guy's house, where he built a 500+ foot slip-and-slide to give it a try. Very cool. 

 

That guys slip-and-slide also reminded of the best slip-and-slide commercial ever created. Check it out here. Ahh...the memories of slip-and-slides that kids could only dream about.  

 

So yeah, if you can't build a huge slip-and-slide at your house you should go to a water park and give me a call before you go because I am totally down.
