Megan M., you should SOOOOOO go to Cedar Point, since you live in Ohio.  I lived in Ohio, but I moved a couple of years ago.  It is the #1 roller coaster park.  It even has the SECOND tallest roller coaster there.  (I went on it!!!!)  

Thanks for the welcome.  I am actually Robyn D.  I just wrote my initials!!!!  

One of my fav. vacations was Ocean City, NJ.  I LOVED LOVED the boardwalk and the nice beach!!!!  

Paige, my DREAM is to go to Sea World.  I am an underwater fan.  I have been to Disney World, though.  I'm homeschooled, so my family can go a lot of places and bring school with us.  I've basically been on the entire East coast.  

I am glad I did this right!!!!!!  Thanks everyone for responding!!!

Oh, cool!! :):) I can barely remember Sea World...  All I remember was that the polar bear was sound asleep, there was a moving sidewalk by the penguins (it smelled!), we got to feed the dolphins by hand (!!), and that I cried because I wanted an orca stuffed animal... :):) I hope you get to go there sometime!! :D:D

Oh, and Megan, I've been to Kelley's Island, too.  We used to go there all the time.  I really liked it!!!!!!!!  I have also been to Put-in-Bay which is close to Kelley's!!!!!

Oh, that's cool:D We go to Put-in-Bay, too, when we

go to Kelley's Island:D I bet Cedar Point is cool. I'm

sure we'll go there next time we're up that way:D:D:D

We're still debating on where to go on vacation this

year, though. Decisions, decisions...:):):)

But my favorite vacation was probably my vacation

to the Isle of Palms in South Carolina. It was sooo

much fun and it was the first time I saw the ocean, so

yeah, that's my favorite. :)

Oh my goodness, I am DYING to go to Cedar Point!!!!! I was at Lakeside, Ohio, last year, and Cedar Point was right across Lake Erie from us!!!! (not like directly across, but to the side) I could see the roller coasters and my cousin was telling me all about it!!! My parents decided not to go. Lakeside is one of the most AWESOME places. You can walk everywhere and we stayed in a house 30 feet away from the movie theater (I promise you, I am not exaggerating) Then about 70 feet away (or less) was the ice-cream parlor!!!! 70 feet diagonally from the house was the town with tons of really cute stores!!! In one of them, you could buy candy for 1 cent!!!! (at the cheapest) I would go there with my siblings and cousins a couple times a day. I had the coolest room! It had bright yellow paint and a rainbow striped bed spread. There were flowers all over and at night we would open the windows for a breeze. Then there was putt-putt and shuffle board and swimming and contests and fireworks and bike riding and tennis and then at nightime everybody would come over to our house and play tons of games and eat huge bowls of popcorn!!!!!! So sosososososo fun.

Eh, I can count the states I've been to on one hand, and most of those are just states we drove through in the middle of the night to get to New York and back or something....For a long time we'd vacation in Maine each summer, and that was wonderful, but we haven't for years....I've recently been in New York twice, but that wasn't a vacation....BUT there is one vacation that I'll never forget--I went to Scotland once!!!!! It was wonderful, and I remember almost everything from it (we stayed in Glasgow, and then for a couple days stayed in an inn by the ocean....) I'd love to go to Ireland one of these years....:):):) And welcome, Robyn!!!

That sounds VERY cool, Aliza.  I've been to, I think 29 states, but quite a few of those states are ones I've driven through.  The only place I have been out of the U.S.  is Canada cuz I have relatives up there.  I saw Niagra Falls, (if that's how you spell it!!).  That was AMAZING!!  

Jenni, you've been to Japan???  What's it like there????  :D   

P.S. Thanks for the welcome, Aliza.  I love chatterbox, especially since everyone is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO friendly!!!!!

Well, I can't quite remember. My mum's Japanese, so I've been there a couple of times, but the last time was soooo long ago! My little cousin was about 1-2 years old, and now he's in first grade, so yeah. We spent most of our times there in Tokyo, which is where my Baba and aunt and uncle live. It's big and crowded and a whole bunch of electric lights and garbled English, such as "Toilet out of control" signs in the bathroom, and I was like, "What, will it bite your bottom or something?" hehehe.

 

I think it's spelled Niagara Falls, btw. I've also been to Hawaii, but that was before Martia was even born, and I had a bad cold, so I don't remember a thing. My mom likes to tell people about how many times I threw up in the plane on the way to and from Hawaii. Ugh.
