Summer Travels 2001

 

    This page contains various photos of our travel during the Summer of 2001.  Most of our time was spent visiting family.  The family pictures are posted on the "home" page, so this page has pictures of "places."  Enjoy!

    Paul and Angela spent a day at Cedar Point, riding most of the park's 14 roller coasters, including the "Millennium Force" (Pictured Above.)  This ride pulls you up to 300 feet above ground level, and has a nearly vertical drop (80 degrees) of 300 feet.  It tops out at 92 Miles Per Hour, and lasts 2 minutes - 45 seconds.  The coaster holds several world records including Tallest, Fastest and longest drop.
