Coaster loops at Kings Island.

Hitting Kings Island on our road trip!

Last summer, we hit Cedar Point.  This year, we saved our Coke Reward Points and scored tickets to Ohio’s other theme park, Kings Island.  I like to pretend to go to the park an re-enact that one episode of the Brady Bunch.  However, no one else in my family knew what I was even talking…

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 Adventure – Part 2

So we strapped in,…

Review: Legoland Florida is a hit! Part 1

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

  The Cheetah Hunt commercials have suckered my kids into really wanting to go to Busch Gardens. So part of our mini-spring break we managed to make it to the park.  I just love this place. It’s so pretty, so clean and they have some great rides.  We also picked the perfect day because it…
