It was hotter than a marshmallow in a campfire today. Dejavu??
We departed on time with lunch packed and 9 aboard for Holiday World and Splashin' Safari, a huge theme park in the Hoosier National Forest. Sounds cool and comfortable doesn't it? Not so. It was death defyingly hot. Without the unlimited free drinks and sunscreen there would have been multiple heat strokes throughout the day (and that was just from me). The water park was not any relief at all as the water was all turned to jacuzzi temp and the lines for the slides 35-60 minutes long. The pavement was like walking over burning embers, there was no shade but we persevered. After about 3.5 hours we decided to try the amusement rides where maybe there would be some shade and shorter lines. The shade idea didn't really work out since it was still 110 degrees in the shade. We did ride the Voyage and it was the bad assest ride ever. The kids wanted to do it twice.

i recommend a visit to san francisco. it hasn't even hit 70 in weeks..at least it hasn't felt like it. we've been in the city and it's been sub 60 several times in july. then you can come to san jose where i live and warm up to the mid 80s but still comfortable because we don't have humidity.
I do remember those Hotlanta days from not too long ago, Susan, and therefore am in heaven these days here in The Netherlands with temps in the 60s. I LOVE it. I do NOT do HOT very well. It sounds like you don't either.
And the heat is back. We had a little break over the weekend, but the heat index today may be 110 and yesterday the temp was around 100--the temp, not the heat index.
Despite the heat, I think we had a great time. Thank you for all you did to make the week a success!
