Pete's Log: how do I get so lucky?
Entry #1296, (Life in General)(posted when I was 23 years old.)
Meg and I spent Wednesday and Thursday at Cedar Point. It was my first time there. I loved it. The first day we spent mostly at Soak City. I've got such a sexy tan now, y'all best watch out. Then in the evening we did a couple rides: Mantis and Mean Streak. Both were fun enough. Then we got in line for Millenium Force, but the damn thing broke down and they never got it running again that night. Boo.
Thursday we got to the park just in time to get some of the last freeway stamps for Millenium Force. Then we rode Iron Dragon, Magnum, the down side of Power Tower (freefall from 240 feet is pretty damn sweet ... I think that was my favorite), some water ride to cool off, Raptor (I think this was my second favorite), and Blue Streak. We then returned to Soak City where we finished up the slides we'd not done yet. Then go-karts and mini golf. Finally back into the park for Gemini, Corkscrew, the up side of Power Tower, and then the Millenium Force. I was expecting more from that ride. I mean, it was pretty good, I rank it my third favorite at Cedar Point. It's just that I was expecting to be able to rank it number one. It did go really really fast. 92 miles an hour, is what they said. Wooooo!
Today I received word that a group of my friends got together and raised a bunch of money to get me started on buying a new laptop. Reading the email from Perk brought tears to my eyes. I've got the best friends in the whole world.
