Ashland, Ohio (part 1)

In early June, my family took a trip to Ashland, Ohio to watch my dad graduate from Ashland Theological Seminary.  I will talk more about his graduation and his doctorate when I get to that part of the trip!  For now, here are some pictures from the first couple of days.

My sis and her husband...aren't they cute?

Before my sister, Melanie, and her family got to Ashland, the rest of my family had the opportunity to go to Cedar Point.  If you haven't heard of it, it's like one of the best roller coaster parks ever!  We had a blast!  Mom and Dad were a huge help in watching James while the rest of us rode some thrilling rides.

This roller coaster is one of the tallest and fastest coasters in the world!

We raced 420 ft in the sky reaching 120 mph in 4 seconds!

Talk about scary.

Haha.. I love this look.

Always so busy

This was taken a few minutes before we left the park.

What a day!  We enjoyed every minute of it.

I can't wait to go again sometime!

More to come!......
