Cedar Point

So, last weekend was the big camping trip. This weekend it was Cedar Point. Much more my style. I had been watching the weather all week long. The chances for rain just kept getting worse and worse. We left about 7 am. It rained the entire way there. Ron and Julie got a room at the Breakers so we could get in an hour early. We were there with plenty of time to spare. . . but that damn rain!!!!
It was pouring so hard, there was no point to go over to the park. We decided to go have lunch and see if it would let up. Nope. So we went back to the hotel to take the boys swimming. It's important to note this was all they cared about.

Cedar Point = Whatever

Hotel Pool = AWESOME!!!

We were at the pool for about 20 min. Thank God it was only 3 feet deep the entire length. Scott and I didn't have to get in! Of course as soon as we got to the pool, the rain came to an almost end. We let the boys swim a couple more minutes and headed over (about 2 pm)

Some of you may know that we scarred Evan for life by taking him on the Millennium Force 2 years ago. This may not sound like a big deal, but it was his first real roller coaster. Scott and I will never forgive ourselves for this! Evan is completely terrified and will not go near a roller coaster. He's totally down with the bumper cars.

Jeb on the other hand is a little dare devil. He LOVED the roller coasters. He'd only go on them once and he was done. He's goofy.

They had had enough of the park by 5 pm so Ron and Julie took them back to swim some more. Scott and I stayed to ride more rides. My legs still hurt from walking all day. And I walk fast. Abnormally fast I've been told. So I pretty much "power walked" for 8 hours. Now my hips are making me feel like I'm 86 years old!

Overall, it was a good day. We rode everything at least 3 times. We sat in the front of Top Thrill Dragster and got COVERED in bug guts. It was really pretty funny. Lord knows that is my ideal vacation. I'm way too type A. It's a great release for me. I feel refreshed after a day at Cedar Point. Scott likes it because I make him like it! Okay, that's not true. He has a good time too.

We've decide next year no kids. They can only last 3 hours and they don't really care about the rides. Therefore, they need to stay home so Mom can enjoy her day. Because in the end, they want me to go, they need me to go. Otherwise, I'm likely to smack them around more than is necessary. . .and that's really not good for any of us!
