"Photos of the Week" Ceased on waterslidedatabase.com

I have ceased updating Photos of the Week on the Water Slide Database website. It just took too much time to have the same post published to two different websites, especially since each blog have to be used differently.

The Photos of the Week will continue only on the Blogger page (here).

Water Park of America Photo, Mall of America Trip Report

On my flight out of Minnesota last Friday (4/6/12), I was able to spot Water Park of America from the plane as it took off. I took that chance to snap a distant photo of it.

Zoomed in a little

Just felt like sharing it!

If you'd like to read through my photo trip report of the Mall of America, which was what I was in Minnesota for, then you can click here.
