Awesome Rides, Great Themes, and Snoopy Hunting

On Monday, we went to Knott's Berry Farm amusement park up near Los Angeles. Quite possibly one of the most awesome themed theme-park I've ever been too. There was a diverse and well-divided group of subjects that the park covered, from Peanuts to the Wild West.

We choose Knott's Berry mostly for the cheaper ticket price, compared to the likes of SeaWorld or DisneyLand. And man, did we get a bang for our buck. Very similar to Darien Lake near Buffalo, NY, Knott's had rides ranging from a 100mph magnetic "Xcellerator" roller coaster to a tame merry-go-round.

When we first went through the gates, we saw Lucy and Linus mascots greeting the park visitors. This made us think, "There's got to be a Snoopy here." And we wanted a picture, damnit. So we went Snoopy Hunting. And that dog is a sneaky one. We covered the entire park TWICE before we saw the guy, and when we did see him, he was walking towards the exit. For the record, we probably didn't look like the most mature couple, cornering him and asking for a picture, especially after a 3 year old just got done looking extremely bored next to him. No regrets.
