In the Summer of 1982, my grandparents took us on a vacation to Kings Island Amusement Park in Ohio. It was the first time my Mom let me ride on the Beast Roller Coaster by myself,

which was the fastest wooden rollercoaster at the time. I was also able to walk around the park by myself and go on the rides since I was older than my two sisters. As you can see in the photo, I also met my favorite cartoon character at the time, Jabberjaw. There was also a professional tennis tournament at the park at the same time so while I would be coming back from the amusement park or the pool, I met Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, and John McEnroe since they were all staying at the same hotel. This was a great family vacation that I have very fond memories of since my Grandparents both passed away.
