Kings Island - April 17th

What a fun park.... its not a Six Flags park but its a true old fashion theme park.... they only had a few big roller coasters but their main one is awesome... BEAST ... its about 4 minutes long and it takes you out in the woods and through tunnels and everything... very cool wooden coaster... its one of the top wooden coasters... we pretty much did all the rides they had big to small... chris was really bummed because "son of beast" wasnt running... its a wooden coaster that had a single loop, but later to find out was taken out because it caused injuries... they had it open last year but closed it again because of more injuries... this coaster looked off the chain... it was really tall and looked like it went fast, too bad its coast the theme back around 30million just in fixing it ... maybe next time we make it to Cincinnati it will be up and running.... after a very long day we ended it with a great fireworks show right at the front gate...

After a long day at the theme park we jumped back into good old Nancy and started our drive to Chicago... we ended up about an hour outside of Chicago and pulled in to our home away from home Wal-Mart for the night... im not starting to get picky at the ones we stay out... i always look for the ones that are open 24hours so that way i can always have a bathroom and i dont have to wait til morning  :) .... its the little things in life that are very important to always be aware of ....  alright so back to Chicago... what a great city... we stopped and ate at a little pizzeria and watched the white Sox's and Cubs play on tv... we did some more exploring of the city and found our self's outside of the cubs field ... Chris wanted to get a picture with Nancy and the famous Wrigley Field Chicago CUBS sign... it was pretty crazy with the game going on and people walking everywhere but i jumped out of the bus and walked across the street and waited for chris to go around the block and make his way back to the stadium ... i quickly snapped the picture and ran to catch up with him ...... it was the best picture because 3 seconds before he went through the light a big bus blocked the view and he had to slow down and then 3 seconds after i took the picture another bus ran right in front of me and would have blocked the view...

all in all Chicago was pretty fun and i would love to spend more time there...        NEXT STOP is ................
