Castaway Bay

Cindy and I took the kids, plus a friend of Marie's, to Cedar Point's indoor waterpark this weekend. This really is the perfect weekend getaway...especially living in good ole' Akron, Ohio in the wintertime. Weather, of course, is no issue, and the kids absolutely love all the water slides, coasters, and playhouses that can be found in these parks.

Marie and her girlfriend pretty much had the run of the water park, riding continuously the many body slides and indoor roller coaster. I admit that I had a hidden agenda when we told Marie she could take a friend...it saved my body from the battery of going up and down those slides. Instead, I hung out with Josh in the toddler area, played a lot in the WAVE pool, and played quite a bit of water basketball. We even hung out at the hot tub for a while...at first, Josh wasn't too sure about this one, but he shortly fell in love with it, which of course, was my favorite "ride" at the park!


We rose bright and early, by our "Josh" alarm clock, on Sunday (our 2nd day at the park) around 7:00 AM...had a quick breakfast, visited the arcade/ gift shops, and swam most of the morning/ early afternoon. I surprised Cindy with a spa package this morning...At 7+ months pregnant, she really wasn't able to enjoy the water park all that much, so I figured she'd have a better time hanging out at the spa on Sunday...and according to her, she did. Josh will tell you she went their to get her face fixed (translated, a facial)...you gotta love 4 year olds perceptions on things. Anyway, three hours later, she said she had an extremely relaxing morning complete w/ an hour massage, pedicure, manicure, and a "face-fix"

My personal recommendation, however, is the Kalahari...it definitely is the largest of the three Sandusky waterparks. The rooms are awesome, and there is also a HUGE indoor dry playground area that's great for the kids when you want to take a quick break from the swimming.
