Hi, y'all! We had a great vacation. My ILs have a trailer up in Port Clinton, which makes it a great vacation spot for us. We went to Cedar Point on Thursday. It was a lot of fun. This is the second year we've taken the kids and they seemed to enjoy it much more this year. Nikki is considerably taller and I was able to take her on some coasters she's never been on. She's just an inch too short for Raptor, my fave, and even though she's tall enough for Magnum and Millinium Force, I wouldn't let her ride them. I just don't think she's ready for some of the worlds tallest coasters.

On Friday we went over to South Bass Island, otherwise known as Put-in-bay. We got to ride the ferry and then rented golf carts to ride around the island on. The kids LOVED this. We stopped and toured Perry's Cave, which was way more interesting to ds than the rest of us. We ate on the boardwalk (well, the kids ate, I drank, LOL) listening to some great live beach music (buffet wannabe). Then we came back to the main land and went to a fun indoor minigolf course. It was black light, which the kids though was too cool. Had a blast with that.

On Saturday we hit some of the tourist traps. Prehistoric forest (would love to skip this, but ds won't have it) and Train-O-Rama. Train-O-Rama was actually pretty cool. They have toy trains set set up throughout the room with mini settings all around. Next we went to Cheesehaven, a cheese lover's dream come true. We then had lunch and headed home.

I'll try to post pics after we get them developed. I have some digital pics but can't figure out how to get them posted.

Great to be back!

OK, what State are you talking about? None of these things sound familiar to me except "boardwalk" LOL!

So glad you're back and that you had fun. Hope you're not sick (saw your other post and got worried). Sounds like a great vacation! We're going next Tuesday for 4 days to a cabin in the mountains on a lake that belongs to a good friend of ours that works with Michael. They let us stay there free each Summer when they're not there. It's very remote and very beautiful. We go row-boating on the lake, walking in the woods, and Michael takes the kids fishing (not my thing, so I hang out and read and relax on the little screened porch). I'm really looking forward to it.

I hope you're OK, Erin!!
