The Halloweekends Tradition

Tomorrow night begins Halloweekends at Cedar Point. For as long as I've been a season pass holder, this has been something I've looked forward to, and it's a huge part of what fall is all about to me.

Tomorrow I'll be sharing it with Diana too, and I'm really excited about that. I have so many good memories from those outings, riding Millennium Force, drinking beer at the Red Garter show and smelling the nuts that I don't actually eat. So many good times.

Of course, that got me to thinking, that this was a tradition that I started with Stephanie, and how should I feel about that? Or how should Diana feel about it? But then it occurred to me that virtually everything that I like to do in my adult life I started with Stephanie in it, so it's kind of unavoidable. I have great memories doing stuff with her, and I'm not trying to replace those memories. I've been creating new ones for the last two years that are also great, and with different people in the same places.

New this year is the parade, which runs on the afternoons, so I'm not sure when I'll first see it. I suspect it will be the day of BooBuzz, because I'm not big on Saturday or Sunday visits other than closing weekend or the event.

And the best part of it all is that it starts with jacket weather. I love jacket weather. :)

Now that you mention it, I've never seen anyone eat those nuts.

Yes. But I wouldn't go to the Red Garter Saloon looking for them. Just saying.

Now I'm confused which nuts we're talking about.

Yeah, I was afraid to ask myself.
