This past weekend was a long weekend in Canada, so we packed up the kids and joined friends to head to Ohio for some shenanigans. And shenanigans we had.

Saturday was spent driving through usual May-2-4 weather: RAIN. But our hopes of good times were not washed away by the 90 minute delay at the border or long-ish drive. Oh no. We had Disney upon Disney movie to watch and listen to while we drove. Good times indeed. We made it to Castaway Bay in Sandusky Ohio around 2:30pm. This place is awesome. Total indoor waterpark chaos. Waterslides, tube slides, wave pool, bar, splash works. So much to do, we ended up spending 5 hours in there. Prunes we were. After cleaning up, we headed out for dinner–and drinks of course.

Sunday consisted of rollercoaster madness. A lot of rollercoaster madness to be exact. That’s right, we hit the heartland of rollercoasters, Cedar Point. And the weather? Wow. Gorgeous and sunny. A perfect day for what is traditionally a rainy weekend. So we hit the park hard with the Raptor, and didn’t look back. Everyone had a blast. Highlights were definitely Millennium Force (310 feet high, 85 degree drop, 92 mph), and the Top Thrill Dragster (420 feet high, 90 degree up/down, 120 mph, ride is over in 17 secs).

This is the Top Thrill Dragster (part of it).

This is me, disappearing in a 120 mph blur (orange shirt, last car).

Everyone had SO much fun. Can’t WAIT to go back next year.
