I must first tell you why this wasn't being updated for the past, oh, 5 days or so... I swear it wasn't me! There was NO INTERNET! Now before you gasp, and then convict me for lying because there is no place left on this great continent that would possibly be out of range of the all-powerful net... there is, and it is located in the RV area of Cedar Point. Yup, one giant dead zone probably implemented to get the online-addicts looking for a different source of entertainment... and it works.
Welcome in, the ROLLER COASTERS! WOOOOOO!
Welcome in, the ROLLER COASTERS! WOOOOOO!
Rich and I concluded our trip with a day at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. This was Rich's culminating "end to Michigan" and he couldn't be happier about the location! Thus we began our morning at 6:30 am with rides promptly beginning at 9 am {Rich reminded me, oh, every waking moment that "there is a special hour that we get to go into the park earlier because we are camping here".... oh goody.}
Now, things worked out pretty well that morning -- it was overcast and a little windy, but overall a nice time. We went from 9-11 am, got lunch (and walked the dogs {for those of you who were about to call the SPCA on me because I hadn't mentioned them this entire time...}) and then were ready for round two with our friends Jason and Devonie who were meeting us for an afternoon of fun and rides.
It rained. No kidding.
For HOURS.
While we were in line. Without the ride going. Just standing in line. {boooooooo!}
Once the heavens opened with the sunshine (that Rich swore he was seeing through the grey blanket that hovered over us and soaked us to the bone {awww, ever optimistic *insert sarcasm*}) we were able to power through a few more rides before bidding adieu and packing up for the night.
Oh, one more thing, Jason won a GIANT FROG from one of the games -- you will never imagine the comments you get when you carry that thing around... it was bigger than I am, and when they wanted to ride one more ride, I happily babysat the big thing.
Never again.
*smiles*
so it rained...like a torrential down pour of cants and dogs and other such furry objects...when lance and i went last year and just when we thought we should just pack it up and head home the skies clear and coasters started rolling and the best part was few people stuck around so...no lines. oh how i love me some cedar point :)
ReplyDeleteOh no, the rain wasn't so bad... it was the fact that Jason is REALLY focused on filling his time as quickly and thoroughly as possible (and at those prices - who wouldn't be?).and being trapped in line in the cold wasn't quite cuttin' it... but we got through it, and yes, many people left {snicker}
ReplyDeleteThe part I would NEVER really want to do again: the frog. All he did was sit around and smile as people gawked at him. jerk.
