Our First Vacation in Four Years
Friday, July 25th, 2008 at 7:34 am
We just went on our first vacation in four years and it really couldn’t have been better. It was hot, most days the temperature hit around 92 degrees, but the skies were clear all day and the nights were actually cool. Our last vacation was to Hawaii back in the summer of 2004, right before we found out Traci was preganant with Orson so we’ve been itching to get away for a while ever since. We spent two and a half days at the park; more than enough to take in everything we wanted to do. Our last visit to Kings Island was in 2002 and since then the park (along with Paramount’s four other parks) has been sold to Cedar Fair, the same company that owns Cedar Point. As a result all the movie tie-ins were gone, which really didn’t bother me any, but it bodes well for the future of Kings Island. Cedar Point is the coaster capital of the country so I can’t think of a better company to continue the development of Kings Island.
While we were there we also decided to get first crack at the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, since it was showing at a theatre within walking distance of our hotel. We caught the midnight showing on release night and it was worth it; it was unbelievably good (as I’ve already posted).
All in all it was a great trip and, although I missed the kids, it was still good to get some time away from everything. Next stop: Holiday World!
