WOOOOOOOO!!! Cedar Point.

Well friends, I didn't count the number of splattered flies I flicked off my face yesterday, but let me tell you, by the end of our trip to Cedar Point, I wasn't concerned. The "World's Best Amusement Park" did not disappoint me (as a first time visitor) or Lucas, the roller coaster bandit... (aka, he's been here before- if you return, I think you're granted "bandit" status...)

Moving on...

When we entered Ceder Point at the young hour of 10am, we were pumped! Ready for adventure- our quest you ask? TO RIDE EVERY COASTER IN THE PARK!!!

The park has 14 MAJOR coasters ranging from your classic wooden variety overlooking beautiful Lake Erie like the "Mean Streak" (with a 161 foot drop) and the "Gemini" to the 420 ft, 120 mph "Top Thrill Dragster"... which we sat in the front row for... hence the aforementioned splattered bugs...

Check it out!!!

Here are some other views, but I must admit, I didn't have my camera around for the 12 hour coasterathon.


And here's a limited view of Lake Erie (while we were in line for "Mean Steak")
Soo, I bet you're all wondering whether or not we completed our quest? Did the "bedraggled, bug speckled protagonists" achieve the Sangreal of Amusement? YEAH WE DID!!

EVERY COASTER, people. EVERY ONE. Can you believe that?

wooo!!!

P.S. We've reached Chicago and are currently staying in Grant Park right by Lake Michigan. But, on the way we stumbled upon this "cute little winery" (Lucas's words) in Ohio.

The tasting we attended was delightful! Now, on to adventures in Illinois! See you all on the flip side. :)

"Cute" was NOT my word for the winery!!! For the record.

EVERY coaster!? As in, 17? Including the Maverick, which is so new that Michelle has ridden it just as many times as Lucas has?

AND you posted a pic with smiles... for Mom!

You guys are SO AWESOME.

And for the record, what does Lucas claim for the disputed winery adjective?

Mom said...

Very "cheesy" smiles I might add.
You two are "crazy"....well, enjoy
now while you are young. Thanks for the update and those beautiful smiles. Love, Mom
