I read David Sedaris "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" - collection of essays about family life/growing up. I still laugh out loud whenever I think about the childhood Halloween candy story. What a fun (and insane) book. Definitely worth delving further into his work.
Bravo on your carefully crafted theme park experience. Truly, I'm glad you had a great time. I bitch and moan about them all the time, then select spring break as the perfect time to brave Disney World with three children (to be fair, and allow others additional information that doesn't make me appear to be a total moron, it was because a cardiology conference was pre-arranged there, at that time.) However, it remained self-sabotage.
Our Dad is from Michigan- when we were kids, he took us to Cedar Point (I think it’s called?) once and I still remember how much fun we had there. Those wooden roller coasters will get you. I don’t know if I could tolerate as an adult. Glad you had a great time. Sometimes those places can surprise you!
Yes! Cedar Point! It's a little further away for me and I haven't been there in a few years, but it's great (and a real high school field trip destination). Actually, last time I went to Cedar Point, I got an elephant ear and a seagull promptly pooped on it and me from the sky. Ha! Great memories!
Just goes to show you how individual experiences/memories are. I have zero recollection of this outing. Kara's older, so perhaps her developmentally advanced (by 22 months, no more, no less ;) brain stored this away more effectively.
Oh interesting! I was recently listening to a podcast that discussed how siblings often have different memories about the exact same event. That's so curious to me - it would seem like facts are facts, but I catch these weird inconsistencies with my own sibs when we talk about childhood memories. It's so weird how we'll have firm, concrete memories that completely conflict with each others.

Hah! Love it!
