What a Send-Off

Okay, I'll admit that today was mostly a bust.

But it was still good fun, just in smaller doses.

For the past 6 years, I have been making yearly trips to Soak City at Cedar Point (sometimes twice per summer), and this year was no different: load my car up with good friends, and make for Sandusky like we have nothing else to lose.

Unfortunately, it was rather rainy today. The day started with clouds and wind, and by 1:30pm we were swimming with rain, which prompted an early dismissal from the park.

But before leaving, we were also disappointed by a shortage of lifeguards (several slides were closed and a river was crippled by capacity), rather busy lines, and a general "been there, done that" attitude to the whole thing. Despite these, we still had a good time, and above all else, I was thrilled to see Colleen have a very good time at her first water park (even if she was a little nervous about her first water slide... she showed me how to be brave with the BIGGEST water slide of them all... "there's poop in my butt!" ... christ ...).

Our dinner plans went awry (thanks to construction), but I do believe that all in all we had a good time today, and if nothing else, we made the most of a rather poopy-feeling day. This might have been my final annual trip to Soak City, and even though very little went according to plan today, it was still a great send-off trip.

Out.
