This will be my last Ohio posting... :( Which means I will just need to be planning another trip soon! On Sunday we went to Put-in-Bay, Ohio an island about 45 minutes away from where my family lives. In order to reach the island we had to take the Miller Ferry over.
This is the one thing that Colorado is lacking, we have no water anywhere! I love visiting the great lakes and mini lakes sprawled throughout the Midwest. Jeff got to see some of Lake Erie on our ride over to the island, he even saw a roller coaster off in the distance from the amusement park, Cedar Point.
I love Put-in-bay, it feels like you are on a beach down south with all the different yachts that show up for the day. We even got to have some really yummy lobster bisque and sit on the boardwalk in the sun.
Whenever we go to the island we have to look for my Grandpa's plaque commemorating his achievements as commodore. (Correct me if I am wrong Mom!)
Here he is! My Grandpa Gary :)
There were various cannons and war memorabilia spread around the island that Max thought were pretty cool.
One of my favorite parts of Put-in-Bay is their winery...they make really yummy wine from their fresh Catawba grapes that they grow along the island. I could only have a sip this time, but I was able to get some fresh grape juice that was equally yummy!
Our week went by really quickly but it was so much fun spending time with everyone. We couldn't believe how much Max had grown in the last 8 months since seeing him last.
But in a few more weeks we'll be seeing everyone again and meeting the newest addition to the family!

ReplyDeleteyou have it right! Grandpa and other's name's are placed there for yrs they served as President for the Inter-lake Yachting Association. We have a book at home covering the yr.s he served-nxt time your home remind me to get it out for you. He loved the island as well as the ones surrounding it. It sure was a beautiful day - glad we could go although i was very concerned for you doing all that walking!
love you

I made an appointment for my next hair cut today and it is 2 days before your due date. Now that sounds really close now. I can not wait ... I agree the blue shirt looks great on you.
