That's Jamie and me on our
recent vacation to Cedar
Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio (mid-way between Cleveland and
Toledo). Join us for a quick recap with
all of the fun -- but none of the sunburn -- of our trip to "The
Roller Coaster Capital of the World."

"The Wicked Twister"

![](images/050730cedar_point/large_jamie_coaster01.jpg) Full
of enthusiasm, we
get to the park early to be first in line for one of 16 giant roller coasters.

Here, Jamie casts off a beet-red Jeff into Lake Erie as my punishment for forgetting to pack
any sunscreen.

a glutton for punishment, I seem to be enjoying this torture.

Jamie waves "hi" to her Dad from the site of the "Top Thrill
Dragster" coaster. The Dragster reaches a stratospheric 420 feet tall and tops out at an unheard of speed of 120
mph. While Jamie looks un-phased, the reason that I'm behind the camera is
that I had turned completely green.

punch line -- just a favorite photo.

heard of Tiger Woods ... Here's Tiger Wouldn'ts.

Less enthusiastic by the end of an exhausting day of fun, Jamie resists my
suggestion for a marathon swim of Lake Erie.
