Does anyone have 2 BAFs for Saturday the 1st that will be at the city?  My parents have 2, but that leaves us short 2.

Here is my review.

Came in Friday evenig and as able to get about 4 hours in the city. It was not crowded. I mean ther were people there but it want crowded. We hit Fire in the Hole first and was a walk on. We rode it twice. The lights were amazing!!! Just beautiful. Was able to ride the train. Had to wait 5-10 minutes. They were running two. My what a ride. A must do. :)  Saw santa. Terry was a hoot. All the rides were open but I just couldnt brng myself to ride anything. Feel kinda guilty for it. My son wanted toride powderkeg so bad. Didnt get anything special. Just kinda moseyed (sp) around. Just amazng. Getting out was a little hairy. The weather was FANTASTIC!!!

Today we went to Dixie Stampede. Fun. Then we went to the Track and my kid was thrilled with that!! He had a blast. We then headed towards the city. Mistake big time. We took Shepherd of the Hills towards the city. Waited in line and hur and a half. Got to the stop light before the stop light headed towards SDC and just turned around. You could see the line of traffic went all the way to the city and the lots were full. It just wouldnt have been  good visit. Kid was slightly dissapointed. I had not seen traffic that bad ever. Seriously, evenduring kidsfest. So if you went to the city today I am sorry for the insane crazy nutbag traffic. I took a picture of the line of cars and will post pictures o my trip later. I am off to walk the strip.

Glad you and your family had a great time, Trams!  That's pretty much what we did this year, also - walked around and took in the sights.  No reason to feel guilty - it's your first OTC!!  You probably made the right choice after viewing the traffic.  Last year, we saw traffic backed up all the way to 165.  Thankfully, we were going the opposite direction.  We also got trapped in the parking lot once.  Literally, trapped - we were wedged in, and there was no way we could get out.  I called security to see if they could help us out - I would have just sat in the car and waited, or headed back to Delilah's for a cup of coffee to wait it out, but I was with a family member who doesn't like SDC, and she was going ballistic! (and it was her car, so had no choice!)  Note: try to avoid traffic and never again go during OTC with a cranky family member that doesn't like the city.

You're trip sounds like fun.  Enjoy the rest of it!
