Cedar Point 2009

In an unexpected move last Thursday. My lady and I decided to drive Lake Erie in Sandusky, OH for the Cedar Point 2009 Experience.

This was my second trip, but Jessie’s first. She was blow away!

We of course took a couple videos of Top Thrill Dragster. My favorite ride of all time.
