Millions of these are in this part of Ohio

for 2 weeks a year. Aren’t we lucky? 😂

Jenn won it at the amusement park when

the guesser thought Jenn was younger.

By 13 years! Awesome.

The past week has been busy with a fun day in Portsmouth, New Hampshire at the Market Square Day, a delicious lobster meal compliments of Leigh and Kimberly, and a day in Boston to visit Ken’s sister and brother-in-law and introduce them to Kimberly, Leigh and Evangeline. Evangeline will be studying at Suffolk University this fall which isn’t far from where Suzanne and John are living in Boston. Suzanne is a retired professional runner and Evangeline will be running in college so maybe they will run together in Boston. We had a lovely visit with everyone.

Monday we left New Hampshire and headed to Niagara Falls, New York. It was a long drive shy of 500 miles. We left before 6am to ensure that we had time to visit Niagara Falls, and more particularly the Maid of the Mist. We normally don’t leave that early.

Tuesday we headed to Sandusky, Ohio, home to Cedar Point amusement park which is famous for wild roller coasters. Rose loves coasters and Jenn mostly does but surprisingly there were a few that Rose wasn’t really excited about riding. Jenn loved the Millenium Force that boasted a 300 foot drop and speed over 90mph. Jenn didn’t have neck issues prior to riding the first one but felt that she did afterwards. Chiropractors should have booths set up in the park. Just sayin.

**Ken gave Jenn exclusive rights to this next story for the blog.** Upon arrival at our first campground Ken parked at registration in between two other campers. Jenn may or may not have encouraged him to park further away to not be so close to others. Ken may or may not have agreed. Needless to say upon set up Ken noticed the back of the camper deck was scraped and there was white paint on the side. Long story short Ken found the other vehicle still at registration and left a note. The damage to that car was let’s just say “not pretty.” Hopefully this is and was the only time we will cause damage as we heard absolutely nothing when leaving registration. Then again there were loud roller coasters very nearby and maybe that’s why we heard nothing.

Cedar Point was fun but hot - 70s and 80s. Thankfully we could get drinks every 15 minutes with our Drink Pass even though once Jenn was turned down with a “you need to wait another minute” even though she was only drinking water.

We moved campgrounds for our last 3 days. The new campground has 2 great pools and lots of activities for kids. It should be a fun and relaxing weekend. And to all of the fathers out there - Happy Father’s Day!
