Brunch Buffet by Cleveland Hopkins Airport Is the ‘Bomb’

By

My husband, Bobby, has been known to spoil me a time or two, especially on my birthday week. This year was no exception.

For the second year in a row, my husband, Bobby, and I were privileged to attend a VIP Charity event at Cedar Point. Last year it was for the opening of their new roller coaster, Valravn. (If you want to read about my experience, you can click here.) This year was the grand opening of Cedar Point Shores Waterpark. Cedar Point has revamped some of their waterpark features and created some pretty exciting new ones, including Point Plummet. The Point Plummet slide drops its riders "down a … [Read more...]
