"WE HAVE TO PAY THE TOLL!!!"

Aug 16, 2006 21:27

Okay, so, our trip to Ohio was ridiculously awesome.  I shall now proceed to record its happenings.

Monday: We left around 9:00 AM and drove to South Bend, Indiana.  On the way, there was a rather hilarious incident which involved Regena swerving across the highway to pay a toll that we didn't actually have to pay at all.  Good times.  We got to South Bend and found ourselves in the ghetto part of town, which was kind of amusing.  Miraculously, we found the town's world-famous chocolate factory with ease and went on a tasty tour.  We got to see how chocolate is made and taste several different kinds.  It was delicious!  The factory's mascot is a cocoa bean named "Senor Koko".  He is my hero.  I had my picture taken with him.  After the tour and much buying of chocolate, we drove on to Sandusky, Ohio.  We had some trouble finding our hotel, but luckily, Peter from Poland was able to help us out from the Cedar Point entrance booth.  I must say, we did a very good job in picking a hotel.  Go us!

Tuesday: CEDAR POINT!  Oh my God, it was soooooo incredibly fun!  Rollercoasters galore!!!  Some of the lines were long, but nothing unbearable.  My favorites were Magnum XL 200, The Raptor, Millenium Force, and the Wicked Twister was pretty sweet as well.  So was Top Thrill Dragster.  It's definitely the best amusement park I've ever been to in my life.  The only bad ride was Mean Streak (a wooden coaster...ow, my head), but even that was really funny because we were all complaining the whole way through the ride.  One interesting sidenote--everyone and their mother at the park had tattoos!  Seriously, it was ridiculous!  I don't really know what was going on...but it kind of made me want to get one, too.  Maybe something in Arabic while I'm in Egypt.

Anyhow, we were at the park for a full 9 hours.  Being the geniuses that we are, we didn't make a note of where we parked the car.  This resulted in us trudging through just about every single row of cars in the entire parking lot until we finally found ours after about a half hour.  Oy.  We went back to the hotel and watched Tomorrow Never Dies on TV, and then went to sleep.

We drove back today and watched Curse of the Komodo at Liz's house.  I love that movie so much.  Tomorrow is the sneak preview of Snakes On A Plane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can't wait.  On that note, I'm going to watch some Grey's Anatomy.

Oh yeah, one more thing...I leave for Egypt in less than 4 days.  Shit.  I should maybe start packing?
