Default I'm going to Lagoon today

Today is my works Lagoon day. Normally we only get to go after 4:00, but I'm taking the whole day off to bum around and go to Lagoon and have some fun, as well as take care of a few things around the house.

It feels nice having a day off... and it's only 7:45 am.

How does Lagoon compare to Six Flags? I've never been to Lagoon.

Picture your average Wal-Mart customer, then picture hundreds of them on theme park rides. That's Lagoon.

A more apt description than SteelBlue's cannot be found.

Lagoon is fun when all the 6th graders in your school go there for the end of year celebration. Other than that, it should be avoided at all costs.

There are some other circumstances that I hope to be able to discuss at a later time that make me glad that today is my work's Lagoon day.

I actually haven't been to any amusement park since I got home from my mission, so I'm a little excited to go and ride a roller coaster, no matter how ghetto they are, or how trashy the client el is.

Are employee's families invited? Or is it strictly a work thing?

Think State Fair of Texas vs. Six Flags and that gets you pretty close.

The culmination of every young Utahn's elementary school career is the sixth grade Lagoon trip.

Lagoon is white trash/red-neck/mullet central, but it's still pretty fun.

All employees and family. I'm taking the whole day off... the company only gets from 3:30 off.
