OUr Adventure Aug 15-20, 2013

Steve and I have this love for roller coasters.  When we lived in our apartment we would watch the travel channel and the top 10 roller coasters in the world.  Well all these roller coasters kept showing up at Cedar Point so steve and i kept saying one day we will go there!

We didn't have any big plans so i was talking to steve about planning a trip.  I asked him if he wanted to go tropical or go on our roller coaster adventure.  He chose the coasters!  So i began to research!  After weeks of planning and researching we got our flight and booked our hotels!

It was such an amazing trip and something that we will have to do again one year! We flew into Cleveland Ohio and drove to Sandusky where Cedar Point was located.  The next morning we got up and started our journey there.  OH MY GOSH...THESE ROLLER COASTERS WERE AMAZING!!! The biggest, fastest, longest roller coasters you have ever seen!  After every ride your head is all shaken up! Not to mention the view! It is located right on Lake Eire so every time you go up a roller coaster you just see all this water! It is absolutely beautiful! The next day we went back to Cedar Point to ride the rest of the rides and do the water park that is connected! It was such a great time!

On Sunday we woke up and drove down to Cincinnati. On the way down there we stopped at the Columbus Ohio Temple.  It was beautiful, it looked just like a picture.  It was such a beautiful drive down there.  It took us about 3 hours and it was soo green and had a ton of corn fields.  I loved seeing that part of the country.  We tried Skyline Chili which is a sweet chili that they serve on spaghetti.  And we played monster mini golf which was a blast!!

On Monday we went to Kings Island which was a lot of fun but definitely not as good at Cedar Point.  But the view from these roller coasters was also amazing.  All you could see were trees!  Huge green trees.  You couldn't even see the other roller coasters in the park because the trees were covering them! it was awesome. The roller coasters were comparable to six flags which is still a lot of fun, but after you experience Cedar Point nothing is as wild and crazy! We were able to ride all the rides and hit up the water park.

On tuesday we woke up and drove through downtown Cincinnati and Kentucky!  It was pretty awesome!  We went mini golfing at then headed to the airport!  It was such a great trip! i love traveling with my husband and making memories throughout the world!

BIRTHDAY BOY!

Happy 27th Birthday to my Husband!

You know that i love birthdays! well steve on the other hand makes it really hard for me to make his birthday special! He always does such a great job spoiling me and making such a big deal out of everything and to be honest i have not been that great at doing the same!

The problem is this boy loves so many expensive things! :) don't get me wrong, this boy gets spoiled!  It just doesn't happen on his birthday because he buys his birthday presents for himself like 3 months early.  So this makes it really hard for me!! 

BUT

This year i decided i need to make it special so i had to get creative!  I have a few things planned for him that i will update after the weekend!! 

UNTIL THEN...LOOK AT THIS  HOT  GUY!

don't tell anyone but we are getting close to 30! crazy!!

This we his birthday present!!

We have to remember the mustache he grew when he was 26! He loved it!

GOOD BYE 26...HELLO 27!!

4th of July FUN!!!

As we all know we love the beach! It was an amazing trip as always. There really isn't too much to say because we usually do the same thing when we go down there, but we've started going to Huntington instead of New Port which has some pretty fun things!  We usually take a walk up by the pier and there are some cool street venders with all sorts of things going on! This time we got some ice cream and snacks that were delicious!

Something else that we love is Baum Burger! Just up from the beach there are a ton of shops and places to eat.  Baum Burger is usually where we stop!  I must say it is pretty Baum!!

One of the highlights of the trip was the Angels Game we went to on the 4th of July! The Angels came back in the 6th inning and hit a home run and won the game! It was beautiful weather and beautiful fireworks!

I just love all the memories we create!!  

So grateful for our mini vacations we get to take every year! it is just nice to get away from everything and do whatever we want!!

Some more Birthday May!!
