vacation

So vacation started out a tad rocky. This trip had been paid for in full since December, hotel and all, just keep that in mind. It's Saturday night and we are so excited to wake up early Sunday morning and drive to Sandusky, OH to go to Cedar Point. At this point nothing was stopping us...or so I thought. Cam happened to check his fantasy baseball team online and noticed the "Cedar Point Closed" was trending in national news. SERIOUSLY, I could not make this up. Apparently there was a water main break on the causeway that leads you out to the park, so the entire park had no water! We were informed that the park would be closed Saturday and all day Sunday, which included our hotel. I was beyond bummed that my very first vacation that I planned was now shot to hell because we had no place to stay and we had lost a day in the park.


After my miniature meltdown I called central reservations and they told me that they could not refund my money, but I could use my hotel night and park ticket for another day during the season. This was great and all, but we live over six hours away. There was no way we were coming back another time this summer. We made the decision to go up on Sunday night and stay on the mainland part of the state, wake up early Monday and have two full days in the park. It was absolutely worth it! I had a blast and can't wait to get back to Cedar Point.


We took the GoPro with us and got some pretty amazing footage that my brother edited and cut for us. The finished product can be found here- Thanks again little bro :)
