Relucant non-stay at CP closing weekend

I decided awhile ago that I was going to skip staying closing weekend at Cedar Point. The decision frustrates me.

I was testing the news migration for CoasterBuzz and just randomly saw the entry for episode #51 of the podcast, and it had some positive comments. It was one we did at Cedar Point in Lighthouse Point in person, with Gonch, Greg and Cath. Hilarity ensued. Mean Streak and the train made noise in the background. Good times.

But the problem these days is that my Cedar Point circle has shrunk considerably because people keep having babies and moving far away and it's just not the party it used to be. One of my best friends works there of course, but it's not like you're drinking beers in that scenario.

Probably the bigger issue is that it's just too damn expensive for what you get, and the total lack of service. Two nights in Lighthouse Point now costs you nearly five hundred bucks after taxes, and I've had too many unclean cottages to justify doing it again.

As it turns out, my favorite volleyball kid ever, Caity, has her last college game the night of Halloween here in Cleveland, so it's a no-brainer that I'm going to go see her play instead.

Me and Diana totally need to establish some new traditions.

#51 is still one of my favorites. :)
