last friday i was unexpectedly woken up at 5:30am, rushed to the car and taken to the airport with absolutely no idea what was happening!! hours later i’m in the san francisco airport waiting for a connecting flight to los angeles and puzzling over some clues emily gave me in the form of letters on sticky notes. the best guess i could come up with was the arrangement ‘fartan’. another flight and 40 minutes of driving later and i’m still unsuccessfully arranging the now 15 letters TARFAYKONCMSTSR as we pass a knotts scary farm sign… OMG!! KNOTTS SCARY FARM!!
we spent friday relaxing, playing warhammer online, eating fuddruckers, and chatting excitedly about all the crazy stuff we’d see at the haunt. saturday morning we grabbed a light breakfast at denny’s then walked to knotts berry farm to spend the day riding roller coasters and oohing and ahhhing over all the wicked halloween decorations. my favorite coaster there was the silver bullet which had me closing my eyes and screaming like a little girl the whole time!!
after a quick trip back to the hotel for naps, showers, and foods it was time for the haunt! until 2am we explored a dozen haunted mazes, rode more roller coasters, dodged frightening monsters and ate candy. it was awesome!! by the end we were soooo exhausted we were simply yawning as maniacs jumped out at us with chainsaws. after the haunt we had just two hours of sleep then back on an airplane to seattle.
what an insane birthday! thanks emily
