The Hottest Coolest Time in Texas!

Schlitterbahn was awesome!  It's the #1 water park in the country according to Travel Channel.  I got the VIP treatment all day long.  Yes, that's what I call special treatment due to my ataxia.  Me and my friends got to go to the front of the line on any rides we wanted because I am unable to stand in lines that are a mile long.  Just the waiting takes a toll on my body.  My friends and I pretty much rode every ride.  We rode the Master Blaster 2x.  Its sorta like a water roller coaster in a tube for two people.  Best ride ever!  I even got wheeled around in a wheelchair for a bit, eventhough I insisted I didn't need it.  But boy, it sure made us go a lot faster.  I really commend the supervisors at Schlitterbahn for such a great system in dealing with disabled individuals.  They were all super nice and very helpful too.  I even had a code name for their radios.  Whenever I heard '1078' over the radio, it meant me.  All was good till the end of the day when we were walking back to our locker and I fell in the bushes.  Only fall of the day, and it wasn't a bad fall at that.  No scrapes or bruises from it.  The only bruises I do have are from the tube rides (which was basically all the rides).  I had so much fun, and I'm so grateful to have the friends that I do!
