Best Budget Inn Sandusky

... Put up the tree. Watch movies. It's going to be a good month back. Looking forward to it.

The past week I've been in Panama visiting the family that hosted me two summers ago. They changed my life. It was amazing seeing them again. Definitely the highlight of my past few months, out of everything I've done. Nothing can top the relationship I have with them. I got to go to a "Panamanian Fair ...

... Ohio. Daughter Keri came to visit from Boston, and she and I had a great afternoon at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland (where I also toured Johnny Cash's Motor Coach to see how the star's home on wheels compared to ours...I still like ours best!!).

Many Sundays, we drove the hour and a half to Ann Arbor, where we enjoyed having a lot of time to spend with my Mom and my ...

Cedar Point Amusement Park is located on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie in Sandusky, Ohio. It is the land of fun and thrills with over 75 rides and attractions. Cedar Point offers the best in roller coaster thrills.

There's lots for kids also. In fact, a section of the park called "four kids' areas" offers 30 rides and attractions for "just their size". These shots were taken especially for our nieces and nephews.

On September 10, 1813, Commodore Oliver Hazaard Perry defeated and captured a British squandron of warships at the Battle of Lake Erie. The battle, fought during the War of 1812, secured control of Lake Erie for the United States and enabled General William Harrison to conduct a successful invasion of Western Upper Canada.

The memorial commemorates Perry's defeat but more importantly it celebrates the lasting peace between the United States and Canada.

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009: Chilled out in the morning and then headed to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Ohio - about 1 hour from our campsite. We were a little nervous heading it as Jett would be staying alone in the camper for the day - just to let you know he did great! It was very cool seeing the first view of Cleveland - lots of large buildings - very large city. Arrived at the Rock n Roll Hall of fame ...

Miles driven: 810
Wildlife seen: 3 Deer (Oh boy!)

Highlights: Uhmmmmm..... Not necessarily a highlight but we must have passed a bazillion stalks of corn while driving. Actually, nothing too exciting today, we just racked up a "few" miles on the truck getting from point A to point B. Luckily, we had great ...

Just wanted to upload some more pictures of our life and times around Cedarlane RV Park. We're both working LOTS of hours (~40/week apiece), which is more than we had expected...but it will certainly help the finances, which is why we're doing what we're doing!

... park with the largest collection of Roller Coasters in the world.

Booked into a cheap n' cheerful motel, and headed to the park early the next morning. Shortly after arriving, a thunder storm broke out and we thought the day was ruined. Thankfully it cleared up before lunch time, and the earlier wet weather deterred many visitors ...

... that the tourist season hasn't yet begun, we weren't able to take an official tour (not sure that climbing that many steps would be a good thing, anyhow!), but we enjoyed the outside of the lighthouse and the pretty park surrounding it. Of course - I took lots of pictures

... Family operation, huh?" Stacey said. "**** her. I hate her, and she hates me. She only married my dad so she could get in on this place. It's not crowded now, but we get more visitors later in the day. I hate her. She's a *****, too." "Is this the tour you give to everyone?" Stacey asked. "Up here is the Mystery Spot. Come on in." He ushered us into a small shack, the type with which I'd become intimately familiar with since becoming a frequent visitor to the ...
