Fredericksburg & Kings Dominion in Virginia on a Weekday


I suddenly felt an urge to visit a theme park, so I recruited one friend to join me on a weekday to avoid the crowd. We stopped by Fredericksburg historic downtown on the way to Kings Dominion. Fredericksburg is located 50 miles south of Washington DC, and has several civil war battlefields.  We visited the Kenmore Plantation and Mary Washington House, where George Washington's mother spent her final years. My friend was pleased that he introduced me there.






 
Kings Dominion is an amusement park located 75 miles south of Washington, DC. I came here in 2010 to cerebrate my break free from a work slave, and I came here this time to cerebrate to break free from fears of unknown. I just need to be aware of risk of unknown but not let it bother me enjoy the moment.







I rode on most of the thriller rides, including Dominator, the longest floorless roller coaster in the world, with the second largest vertical loop in the world. It was sunny yet cool day without too many people, so we only waited long for Volcano. Most importantly, I finally rode the almost vertical water drop which was not as scary as it looks. I had great time and felt like a kid again.
