About a month ago*, Amanda & Corey {Charles's sister and BIL} took me and Charles on a road trip to Ohio and back.
The itinerary:
Day 1: Drive to Huntsville to meet A&C. Lunch in Nashville at Demos'. Drive to Louisville.
 |
| Downtown touristy Nashville |
Day 2: Tour of Churchill Downs. Drive to Sandusky, Ohio.
 |
| Twin spires |
 |
| on the track! |
 |
| Failed attempt at mimicking a jockey |
 |
| Obligatory Face-In-Hole |
 |
| "Props" from the infield |
Day 3 & 4: All day at Cedar Point. And when I say all day, I mean we were there when the park opened and when the park closed. I would post pictures -- but since many of the rides didn't even allow bags/ accessories in the line, I didn't take anything with me. No phone, no wallet, nothing. I probably needed one of those identification bracelets in case I got lost or something. After the John Mayer ticket incident, I wasn't about to put anything valuable in my pockets. But the guys rode all 16 roller coasters, and we averaged about 13+ rides per day. The coasters were so incredible; Cedar Point basically spoiled every other amusement park I'll ever go to. You can't beat the quality of rides. (Also, day 4 included a drive to Cleveland after the park closed.)
Day 5: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Indians baseball game. I'll let the pictures do the talking for the Hall of Fame, but the Indians game included $1 hotdog night (the stadium sold 60,000+ dogs!), a walk-off homer for the Indians' win, and a Beatles-themed firework show.

Day 6: Drive back to Birmingham.
My first real road trip was a definite success!
* yikes, where has the time gone!?
