All summer long I have been working at Camp, but last week was a vacation week for us. So, Shawn and I decided to take Caitie up to King's Island for a fun-filled day, just the 3 of us. After dropping Colin off with Grammy and Poppy, we headed off to Cincinnati. Shawn and I had not been there in 3 years (we went with my school), but it was 1998 before that! Most of our time at amusement parks is spent at Disney World. Shawn has a new nickname for KI, that is Disney Third World! It was such a different experience for us.
We got there and no one told us where to park, nor was there anyone around to actually help us. We rented a locker (for $13!!) and put our stuff away, then headed on to the rides. We rode the Viking Ship (my favorite), climbed the Eiffel Tower, and then went over to Nickelodeon Universe. Here, Caitie could ride almost everything by herself except for a few things where we had to ride with her. My favorite part was riding what used to be called The Beastie with her. Shawn and Caitie sat in the very first seat of this roller coaster and I sat right behind them. It was a great warm-up for Big Thunder Mountain in August.
Afterwards, we headed over to Boomerang Bay, the water park. We rode the lazy river twice and enjoyed some small water slides together before heading back home. She even got some money from Grammy to spend on whatever she wanted, so we came home with a fuzzy pillow and a pink monkey.
All in all, a great day for us all.
