our mini vacation





































The lack of Monday Jack this week was because of our preps for our mini-vacation (and because I was lazy). On Tuesday we went to northern Ohio, to the lake (Erie). We took the ferry to Kelly’s Island where we had lunch, rented a golf cart for sight seeing and visited the island’s winery, a very nice outing in itself. The ferry ride, the first since we returned from Europe was very enjoyable, I had forgotten how much that I miss being out on the water. B and H also enjoyed both the ride out and back. We returned via ferry and went to the Sandusky area to our hotel. We got a nice deal on a big room with four double beds (when things sound too good to be true…). The interesting thing is that when our room wasn’t being used for a room, it looks like a conference room or a small lounge. We found the old escape route plan and indeed, it was a lounge at one time.
On Wednesday, we went to Cedar Point and there was much fun, riding of fast and roundy-roundy rides and such. Even Jack had fun, as evidenced by the pictures, on his first outing to an amusement park. The day was wonderful, with temperatures in the low 80’s and the lake breeze kept things cool. There was a thunderhead that I watched all day but it passed to the south. Then the long ride home…. At least I took a nap. Back to the grind (ha ha) at the plant today, so enjoy the pictures.
