Well, it wasn’t the ideal weekend for a camping trip to Cedar Point, but
\nwe still had a lot of fun! Around lunch time on Friday, we finally made
\nthe go decision… I went home, took the dog out and loaded our camping
\ngear into the car. A quick phone call and a couple clicks on the internet
\nand the dog had a reservation at the kennel, us at the campground and
\ntickets to get into the park. After we dropped the dog off, we headed to
\nOhio. We arrived at the campground around 10:30 PM… yeah it was pretty
\ndark there and the numbers on the sites were hard to read. We found our
\nspot, the only one left in the row… there were quite a few campers there
\nthat got to see us put our tent up, in the dark.<\/p>\n
Either the tent is getting easier to put up or we are getting better at
\nit, because I think we had a record time of 15 minutes getting it up.
\nAfter transferring our stuff from the car to the tent, I went to hook up
\nour extension cord to charge my phone, that was quickly running out of
\njuice! Unfortunately, there wasn’t a normal hook-up on our site, or any
\nsites nearby…<\/p>\n
The next day I went to the office, they have power convertors we could
\nhave used, but they didn’t have any left… I did manage to get my phone
\ncharged up enough to call my sister to find out they wouldn’t be coming
\nthis time… we’ll have to plan something a little further out next time.
\n\ud83d\ude42 We headed off to get some food and see if we could find a converter to
\nbuy… Upon entering Meijer, I was in front of Susan and sort of talking
\nover my shoulder. I turn and realize she wasn’t there and she wasn’t in
\nthe parking lot. Apparently when she said, at the camp site mind you, she
\nhad to use the restroom, she thought it’d be alright to just take off
\nwithout telling me… After I found out she wasn’t abducted, we got our
\nfood and some things we forgot to pack, but no converter. Thinking a
\nhardware store might be a good spot, we went over to Menard’s and didn’t
\nhave much luck. They had a converter that went the opposite way of what we
\nneeded… so close yet so far.<\/p>\n
We got into the park and it was pretty dark out. We were able to get on
\nquite a few rides without waiting very long at all, then around two
\no’clock it started to sprinkle and a lot of rides were being closed due to
\nthe weather. We decided it was a good time to get some food and wait to
\nsee if the rain let up. After eating, we headed back to our campsite and
\nit was still coming down… I’m not sure how Susan was able to sleep
\nthrough it, but it really started to pour and there was some thunder that
\nwas quite loud. After her nap, the rain finally started to let up and we
\nheaded back to the park. We were able to get on a couple rides and decided
\nto head over to Millennium Force. It was the 10th anniversary of the
\nMillennium Force and we noticed in line there was this guy with the
\nanniversary shirt, hat, and a number of Millennium Force pins on the
\nhat… I dared Susan to ask him if he liked this ride, but she wouldn’t do
\nit. \ud83d\ude09 We managed to get on the platform, a few trains back from the
\nsilver gates when they had to close it due to rain. Since we were staying
\nnice and dry, we thought we’d wait it out. Several annoying teeny-bopper
\nstories later and quite a few people leaving, they sent a test train (it
\nwas about an hour or so…) Then the next trains went and every cheered.
\nIf I were to guess, I’d say Mr. Millennium Force could have shed a tear…
\nMillennium Force is a whole different ride at night, but man it is totally
\nworth the wait!<\/p>\n
Packing a wet tent up is never fun, but we managed to get everything
\nback in the car and headed back home… blue skies and sunny with a few
\nclouds… go figure! We picked Waldo up from the Kennel and he was really
\nexcited to see us, Scout on the other hand not so much… She just wanted
\nmore food (and water!) All and all it was a pretty fun weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
