Rollerskating FTW

Earlier last week, a friend texted me to say he had a yen to go roller skating. I thought this was a fantastic idea, and quickly found a roller rink within driving distance (about 40 minutes away). I couldn't believe they were still around! With the mighty power of Facebook, we gathered a group (which, unfortunately, ended up not including the friend who suggested it in the first place, due to a scheduling conflict), and yesterday we headed out for some nostalgic fun.

This is the place. It looks like it hasn't changed much since rollerskating's heyday.

The rental skates were a little skanky, but actually fit well and were surprisingly comfortable.

Our friend Missi brought her own rollerblades. Though
shortly after this picture was taken, she ended up renting
skates because the ones available for rent worked better.

Kenny and Diana responded to the invitation on Facebook,
and were very excited because Kenny had basically grown
up at that particular roller rink. It was so great to have them
there (and dig the pompons on Diana's skates! So cute!).

Aww, we're adorable.

Here's Josh, all ready to skate.

And there he goes!

Here's me with my skates on, wearing
appropriately '80s apparel.

And there I go!

Afterwards, Erin, Missi, Josh and I went to the Panda Express for some food, and we were randomly inspired to
portray certain monkeys.
