Good Morning Sans family
I missed reading all the posts and following your great adventures.
We got back late last night from Ohio. It took us about 10 hours so was stiff and wiped out. However, I had to come home and clean up from the
but we don't mind. It's interesting I seem to miss them more now than ever.
Cedar Point was really fun. We had great weather on Friday night and was able to do rides and the guys did the haunts. Liv and I walked with our "no-boo" necklaces and loved watching the scare actors. Thanks everyone for the great travel wishes
Saturday day was great, we were able to do all rides but one. It kept breaking down. We did go back to the lounge in the afternoon for a break. However, about 7:00 the skies opened up and we returned to the resort. The resort is about a thousand feet from the hotel. It is wonderful to be so close. We stayed in at the lounge and did the pool. What a mistake though everyone in the hotel must have been there. We had a few little one incidents. This parent left her maybe 3 year old with arm flotations in the hot tub. Brian stood up and yelled in the pool area who's unsupervised little kid is in here. Well the kid left and ran to her mother. The father comes over a few minutes later yelling at Brian. Brian told him I didn't yell at your kids I was talking to the missing parents. He got in Brian's face and Brian just told him to get the manager and we will see who is right. The guys left and we didn't see them again. There are signs posted no unsupervised children in the hot tub. Actually there were way to many little ones in it. The chemicals alone are no good for them. The parents were dragging them into here so they could relax. Then we went up to the room and showered and bed. It was going to be up early for the parks.
Sunday morning was good weather. After breakfast in the lounge again we headed to the park. We were able to do all the rides we wanted. We went back to the lounge for afternoon snacks and chilled. We went back into the park and did some haunts and a fortune teller with tarot cards. It was a lot of fun. The cards that we picked were so dead on. Went back to the lounge for appetizers and to say good bye to our friend in the lounge. She is really nice and goes above and beyond her job. Went back in for a few hours and did rides. We were really sad though because last year they did the outside haunt zones but cancelled it this year. We were looking forward to that part again. Especially since we lost Saturday night to rain. We made the best of it. We returned to the hotel for some pool time then packed up.
I am going to be writing a letter to Cedar point executives. They have really scaled back the offerings on the club lounge but not the price. The last thing that did it was every year they give us a Starbucks coupon for breakfast Monday morning because the club lounge closes due to the holiday. Each year it has gone down from multiple items , to one and a drink and now it is a pastry and a drink. It really was not comparable to the lounge breakfast for the price. We decided next year will be our last one and we will not stay there three nights. We can save money staying off site on Sunday with a better breakfast and be closer to home. In talking with some of the employees we know it seems the new CEO has ideas of cutting corners in the wrong places.
Overall a great trip to a really fun park. There are some serious coasters here which that is what we like to ride.
Today I have laundry and cleaning to do. All the kitties were glad to see us and our new sitting service did well. They sent me pics and a report. I still like having our friend instead but will have to deal with it.
Patty so glad you had a great trip and so many meet ups. It is nice to have a safe and uneventful trip home. The weather is so crazy with the ups and downs. Thanks for the kind words about my fur babies.
Schumi glad you made it home and can start counting down to your next visit. It will be so special having your son with you. I understand about enjoying the weather all the time where you live. Glad your house renovations went well. Enjoy your temporary job!
Mac I am so glad to see you are able to do some things more this week. I understand and am sorry that you feel like that and especially on vacation. I hope you don't get hit with the bad weather and can do a little more. It was good that you were able to do some of your meet ups. Keep taking it easy. You're right the sans family is great and I am so happy to be a part of it.
Charade I am so there with you on the graduation stuff. Liv brought home a paper of all the events coming up. We were not able to do senior pics outside of what the school provides. I went with what they had and I was very happy with it. Liv is really good about it especially if it has to do with finances. She is so sweet. She has offered to help pay for her senior stuff this year. I haven't heard anything about a class ring. I never got mine because our High School color was my birthstone and I have multiple rings. It is hard to pick a park in Disney we love Animal Kingdom. Hope they start the deck soon!
Monykalyn The cruise sounds great. It is nice when you can plan ahead.. Lol about the chickens not talking to you. I actually have a cat that chats with us. He will look at you and just start chatting with all these different inflections in his voice. It is the craziest thing I never had one like this. I have a few cuddle bugs too
Keisha glad you had a good trip home and hope you and your son feel better. Any trip can make things seem better. Glad you enjoyed your tour. It makes such a difference when you have a good guide.
Robo I am so glad you are enjoying the trip. I hear you on not doing commando style as much. I did find after three days my legs and body were more tired. Glad you had some spa time. I found it at PBH last time and will take advantage of it again on my next trip.
Tgrgrl I hope your fund raiser went well. It's funny on our trip to Ohio we were talking to a lot of people who live in Michigan with lots of snow and love it. I was just shaking my head and can't wait to be a Floridian in the next year and a half.
Tink I will be thinking of you with Michael coming your way and hope it blows by. I wish they could be wrong about this hurricane. I feel so bad for everyone in it's path. It's a good thing I have a DVR to record my shows. I hate when there are a couple at the same time. It is so hard to decide.
Lynne Looks like you are having a great time again. I totally understand about your noisy neighbors and sorry about that. It is so disrespectful. I hope they check out soon.
Thanks to everyone posting pics with the dis meets. I agree it is so nice to put faces with names and see how much fun you are having. I will enjoy one day when I can meet everyone too. Thanks everyone for being such a great caring family to each other.
I am off to start the chores of being back from vacation. We have parents night tonight with Liv's teachers then it is out for wings at Sliders. They run a buy one get one on Tuesday nights
I hope everyone has a great day
