So, last week the Fourth of July fell on Wednesday and I took the rest of the week off for a mini vacation. The plan was to go to Cedar Point with Joe and April the 4th, but a crappy weather forecast prevented us from going. We went down by Ohio and got some fireworks instead and BBQ'd at Joe's house, then had a bon fire. We had all kinds of morters and bottle rockets, it was cool.
Thursday a few people came over to wrap gifts for the shower. I'm expecting about 20 people to show at the shower and Steve's mom bought about 50 gifts. I have no idea what this lady is thinking. Then she announced that she is inviting 2 of her friends we've never met to the rehersal dinner. Uh yeah, that's not going to happen. Rehersal dnner is for the bridal party only. Not peopele we don't even know. If she feels like she has to have these people with her while they are in town, she doesn't have to come. It's not like she has a role in the wedding. She's already telling Steve's dad who he can and can't invite. Why don't I just giver her MY guest list too since she clearly is the one to choose who is allowed to be there? Well, she's gonna get a surprise, because we are inviting the person she demands not be there. Plus Steve's dad and stepmom are paying for the rehersal dinner, so it is time for there guest list revenge. lol
Anyway, thanks Jen, Candy, Aunt Lana and Nancy for coming over Thursday. You we're a big help. Also, Candy, thanks for being my informant!
Friday we ended up going to Cedar Point. It was a good time and I actually rode a bunch of roller coasters. I went on the new one, Maverick, it was pretty cool. I always close my eyes though because I'm afraid of heights, so Steve makes fun of me. My favorites were the Disaster Transport and the Raptor. I was able to keep my eyes open in the Disaster Transport because it's dark and I can't see the ground. So I liked that one a lot. We went on the Raptor when it was getting dark, so after the initial drop I opened my eyes. I like the coasters with harness where your feet hang a lot better than the carts. The first one we actually went on was the Mantis. I've never been on a coaster where you stand. The way the blood rushes in and out of your legs is CRAZY! I thought all the blood vessels in my legs were gonna explode! lol After that we went on the power tower... that was horrible. Then Joe, April and Steve went on the the Top Thrill Dragster. I didn't go because of how much I hated the drop on the power tower. They liked it though. It better have been good. It was a 45 min wait for a 6 sec ride. We went on a water ride after that and then Maverick and got a little grub after that. Then we went on the Disaster Transport, Millenium Force (which I chickened out on at the last minute) and Magnum (which I hated). The Raptor was our last ride. We walked and stood for 11 hrs. We were beat. Steve and I actually fell asleep on the way home. I'm glad Joe was driving.
Saturday was the Air Show at Willow Run with the Blue Angels. This was all Steve's event. I'm not into it at all. We met up with Jen and Rick. It was basically torture for me because I was tired, dehydrated and had enough of the sun from the day before. We sat there for about 2-3 hours, thought it seemed like much longer in the blistering sun just waiting. I just laid there under my umbrella eating my frozen lemonade. Steve and I actually consumed a whole bottle of water in literally 30 seconds. It was soooo hot! Then finally the Blue Angels were ready to go... then they weren't. After about a 20 min delay they took off. I was really disappointed because I thought they'd fly a lot lower when they come from behind the crowd. I also thought they'd do more tricks. They were out of view so much of the time. Then it was time to go..... it took us about 10 minutes to get there and an HOUR AND A HALF to get home! I was so thirsty and hot waiting there in traffic. It was like a bad dream being stuck there with no way out. Traffic was barely moving (if at all) half of the time and I was dehydrated and we did not have A/C. It was a waste of an entire day. It was Steve's even and he is the one who said that. That goes to tell you how miserable we were. We went swimming at Rick and Jen's after we FINALLY got home. That was a nice cool down.
Yesterday I didn't do much. Basically, I just caught up on laundry and took Captain up to Petland then cleaned. It was a busy vacation.
