Cedar Point Fun – 2013

We planned a one-day visit to Cedar Point into our vacation.  This was a great thought because: We had the time. Aside for my husband, none of us has ever been. Both boys are tall enough to ride most of the rides. I scored free tickets by using my hoarded Coke points. We really didn’t…

2013 Road Trip Adventures – Part 3
