Alexandria Waterfront Festival

We went to the Red Cross Waterfront Festival today with Will's and Eva's friends Jake and Maris.  It was hot, and there is only so much cotton candy, caramel apple and Snowkone you can eat, so we only stayed about an hour.  


This is the ride I call 'The Bullet'.  The little cockpits start by spinning around faster and faster, then the arms they are mounted on begin lifting them up and down.  The result is spinning and being pulled outward, but also swooping up and down so you get the 'I left my stomach in the air' feeling.  Will claims he threw up when he got off this.  I think he was just going for some melodrama, but it was clear he preferred the idea of the ride to the reality.  Jake on the other hand was not bothered at all.
