(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 If you from sin are longing to be free, Look to the Lamb of God; He, to redeem you, die on Calvary, Look to the Lamb of God.

HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE WORLD

I have finished posting park by park reviews of our visits to the five Cedar Fair parks we toured. My intention is to have some further posts where I discuss thematic items from the parks for comparison and contrast.

Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Island

Of the three parks designed on the same model -- King’s Dominion, Canada’s Wonderland, King’s Island – King’s Island probably has the best balance from entry to roaming. We arrived at King’s Island on Thursday evening, and got modestly lost on the way to the park before getting ourselves turned the right way. As per … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Island →

Fitness Update: end of vegging

Another week in the car or roaming amusement parks. The activity of the parks does not counterbalance the inactivity of the car -- not even with the occasional leisurely run factored into the mix. When I got back to the scale at the work wellness center, I found my 2.5 weeks away included a 5 … Continue reading Fitness Update: end of vegging →
