Local Fireworks Display
The local town that I live in had their annual fireworks display. It was good, but the ending was pretty short. All of East Syracuse came out for the event. My parents and myself went, and we found Andy and Jennifer there. Later on Tom and Melissa showed up. It wasn’t a bad Saturday night. It is pretty funny seeing how some of East Syracuse people dress and look. It is excuse to drink and hang out with friends. I had couple of drinks. Andy brought a cooler bag full of beer that he made and some miller that he had. Also Tom and Mellisa brought some for themselves.
Here are some pictures that I took. I hope everyone enjoys them.
Here is my first attempt at doing a video that has effects in it. Does anyone know of a free video editing software that works good for Windows or the MAC? My digital camera makes the video into a Quicktime file. I found a program to convert them into Windows Media File. I also downloaded Pinnacle VideoSpin. I don’t really like it.

People Can’t Believe
When I show people the roller coasters that I went on during the 4th of July weekend people can’t believe that I would ride them. They are fun and little risky. Who wouldn’t want to go 0 to 120 MPH in couple of seconds? I would think a lot of people would want to go up 400 something feet with just a lap bar on. I would and I would do it again.
I also never showed more pictures like I said I would. So here are some more pictures.

Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster at Cedar Point
Here is the video that I made of the Top Thrill Dragster Roller coaster at Cedar Point. This roller coaster goes from 0 to 120 MPH. It goes straight up to a 420-foot-tall hill on the track that rotates 90 degrees. The angle of Twist on Descent is 270 degrees. The vertical drop is 400 feet. What a rush. Everyone should try to go to Cedar Point.

Back from Cedar Point
For the 4th of July weekend my family and I went to Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. We left Thursday and came back on Sunday. It was around a 4 to 5 hours to get there. When we were driving on Thursday it was raining. We got at Sandusky around 3:00 PM. For dinner, We ate at a buffet style restaurant.
On Friday, We got up at 6:00 AM to get at the park early. They opened the doors at 9:00 AM but didn’t let you in until 10:00 AM. They let the platinum people and people that stayed at their hotels in an hour early. It kind of sucked because you think that they are letting you in the park but we had to stay in the hot sun until 10:00 AM. We had two small kids with us also. The waite for them was not good at all.
I rode almost all of the roller coasters except for Blue Streak, Disaster Transport, Gemini, Iron Dragon, and Mean Streak because we rode them when We went there last time. The fastest roller has to be the Top Thrill Dragster. They have 17 roller coasters that you can go on. You should choose what you want to do early and make a plan out.
I would also suggest going multiple days. They have different sections of the park and the lines can be very long. We went to the park two days. Within those two days We also went to soak city. Soak City is their water park. I did one water slide and the rest of the time spent in the lazy river. They have two different lazy rivers. We also brought the kids to the kiddy water parks for them to play.
I didn’t have wireless internet because the hotel didn’t have it. I had a weak signal from another hotel but I had to be outside to use it. That is why I didn’t post during the vacation.
Here are some pictures that I took. I will also post couple of videos that I made during the weekend. I will post them on to youtube for everyone to watch.
Has anyone went to Cedar Point?

Weekend Post
On Friday Andy, Zack and myself started out at the B2 and then we went out to the Empire Brewing Company. We meet up with Jeff, Jen, Courtney and her friends. It was Courtney’s birthday. Monday was my birthday and I turned 25. It was pretty fun. I didn’t want to get smashed drunk.
Here is a picture of the Empire Brewing Company.
Saturday and Sunday are the lazy days where you do house work or watch tv, and surf the web all day. I will try and post some pictures of Friday.

St Patrick’s Day Weekend and Monday
It was a nice weekend. I went to the zoo for my nephew’s birthday on Saturday. It was a nice walk around the zoo. The zoo does everything for the party. The play games, serve pizza, an ice-cream cake, and then open up the presents, and more games. Saturday night Andy and I went to Jay’s Apartment to hang out. Sunday I really didn’t do anything. On Monday Andy and I went to Rosie’s for St Patrick’s. Work has been very good. At Work they are doing construction in our area and when you are talking with someone they use the saw or loudest tool they can find and you can’t hear anyone on the phone.
