Inauspicious Start to My Vacation


The weather just wouldn't let up today. Me and Matt were going to go to Cedar Point again today, but we've been getting a lot of rain the last couple weeks and today was really bad.

We really wanted to ride the new coaster Maverick, especially since it wasn't finished when we went to the point in May.

We waited for a couple severe storms to pass (watching NOACC radar) and then gave it a shot. We got to Sandusky and hesitated, but drove into the park anyway ($10 to drive in). We drove around a bit, didn't see much running in the park (few coasters, etc.) so we slowly made our way to Famous Dave's on the pier. We love going there - having beer and chicken wings. We killed as much time as we could there. The rain was weak, and several of the big coasters started running, but we were looking at the time - it was getting to be 3PM, and then it started raining again, so we just decided to go back.

Since driving the new car (need to get some break in miles) was one of the objectives, it wasn't so bad. It also was a downpour for much of the drive home. Had we gone to the park we would have been bummed.
