This past weekend I took a very exciting trip to Cleveland, Ohio.
My main purpose was to go to Cedar Point Amusement Park. I had the bestie with me as he was staying for week in the area for work. The trip started on Saturday with our arrival in Cleveland Hopkins Airport, and in to pick up the rental from Avis. As we are driving we notice a sign that says Welcome to Cleveland "The Forest City". Our first inquiry was why this was named that considering within the city there is not a site of heavy brushery. So we were out up in a furnished apartment for the duration of the stay buy my friends company. Ok so here is the deal, before I moved north I was not accustomed to people not having central air. After visiting some of the houses and apartments here I learned that this was a common thing, not to have central air. When we walked into this unit, there was no central air nor a air unit or ANYTHING!! This is something I was not accustomed to at all. At that point I was totally ready to go to a hotel. I endured it for the moment that I had to stay but only because we were about to head to Day One of Cedar Point. Cedar Point was everything I expected and more, the first ride I rode was the Mantis, this was the first stand up roller coaster I ever road. My first time riding this was back in 1998 when it first opened. After that we ran from ride to ride until the end of the night when we got on the Magnum XL-200. This was the last train of the night!!!! I tell you the last train is the best train to ride, its full of thrill enthusiasts who are all screaming and hyping the ride up from beginning to end. This is the ride where i actually bought the picture. I was posed cause I knew exactly where the camera was placed.....lol!!!! So after a long day I had to drive back if anyone has read my post on things about me then you know I hate to drive. So I made he best of the ride back to our HOT and STEAMY quarters ;). We got in and decided to meet some associates out for drinks and laughs.


On our way out we saw a group of people at the gas station, this is not new to me because coming from the south I am accustomed to seeing groups hang out at the gas station before and after the club. Well then we witnessed them all leave at the same time. We were going in the same direction as the flow but were a good distance behind the group of cars. When we arrived at the area they were in, to make a long story short, there were gun shots and cars driving fast to get out the area. Needless to say I was petrified, shaking literally so bad I could not concentrate all I could do was call Jesus name. But i digress because that was only the beginning of the night. We entered our first venue and was very impressed and surprised, the venue was nice and the people were stylish, sexxy and chic. I thought I would have no competition but to my surprise I was not the only star there. Then we went to our second venue where the foolishness occurred. First off there was no air conditioning and the bar closed early, after paying $15.00 my crew was upset. Then the laughs started as we saw an abundance of women in bad and colorful wigs, and even a big girl in a ballerina skirt. I thought it was a Halloween weekend with all the costumes that were around there.


I only had one real complaint why did every girl walk around with their shoes in their hands. Yes barefoot at a nasty club!!!!!! Then i start noticing that even people walking down the street had no shoes on as well, was this a Cleveland thing, it was something I wanted no part of. The night ended with me falling asleep on the couch in the apartment with a box fan to cool of the room....lol Day Two was just as exciting at Cedar Point although we were rained out throughout the day, but nonetheless had an amazing time!!!!!!

So if you ever get to Cedar Point you will have a great time at "America's Roller Coaster" and also in the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
