I heard that there's a kids' playground here, with the usual big toys and stuff. Frankly, I never even noticed the playground because of the GIANT SLIDE.
You may have heard of the giant slide before, but no one ever seems to know exactly where it is. It's like trying to find the Fremont Troll yourself if you're not from around Seattle.
If you want a fun 15-minute divergence from being an adult, this is the place to do it. The slide itself is not very smooth, so my super-secret tip is going to come in handy for the newbies: Wear fleece.
I don't have fleece pants, so I just take my Columbian sweater and tie it around my waist. Got it? So let's go over the list of things you need:
1. Friends
2. *Alcohol consumption prior (this is optional)
3. Fleece
4. Lack of fear of shooting off the end of the slide like a rocket and ending up on your butt, driven a foot-deep into the wet wood chips at the bottom.
The slide is narrow, so if you've got some junk in the trunk, then you may want to want to hit the gym a little harder before attempting.
Repeat running up then sliding down until you're properly winded and your cares for the moment, seemed to have slid away.
Come on; that was punny. read more
