At the time I hadn’t planned any trips and last year I bought a pass for Dollywood and Six Flags over Georgia and only used each once.

I was starting to kick myself a little bit because in the past few weeks I started to get some tentative plans to hit the St. Louis and Washington D.C. parks. But earlier this week I was even more frustrated that I didn’t have my pass in hand because I received approval on Wednesday for a set of training courses over the next two weeks in Southern California; very close to Magic Mountain

Way to push your product at the right time SF!

So here I am with plans to hit 3 Six Flags properties on the year I
decline to get a pass. I am due to fly out in two days so its much too late to order it and have one mailed. However, this afternoon I got a letter from Six Flags themselves. To my surprise, SF through some cosmic wizardry anticipated my need and decided to mail me a season pass anyway that I could activate online should I be so inclined. The photo from 2006 should really go though :D

Great timing, ready to go!

Awesome job Six Flags! I was considering skipping Magic Mountain because I’ve never been a fan of doing parks alone and it will be a bit out of the way, but now I think I have to get up there and get the credits.

Expedition Everest from my Animal Kingdom 2008 Album

After a lot of experimentation with different CMS tools and Gallery software, I have finally decided to try WordPress with Gallery 2 Integration; using the WPG2 plugin to tie the two applications together.  For now, I have settled on the Mandingo theme for WordPress and the pre-packaged, minimalist Siriux theme for Gallery.  They have been tweaked a little bit to look a little cleaner, and will likely get modified more in the future.

I’m still working on getting my images re-sized, commented, and uploaded.  Hopefully I will be able to set aside some time to work on that over the Christmas slow season at work.
