VACATION!!!
Adam and I went on a two night three day little vacation with some of
our college friends to Put-In-Bay. It was a bit of a reunion for some of
us. After we all graduated last year we all moved to different cities.
For example, Allyson moved to Indonesia with the Peace Corp and we
hadn't seen her in over a year. Its always fun and crazy when we get
together.
We all stayed in a little six person suite at the Bay Lodging Resort
on the island. Put-In-Bay is an island in Lake Erie, if you didn't
know. It was actually very nice and the hotel staff was great.
Four
of us (Adam, Allyson, Lauren and I) arrived on Friday. We spent time at
the Buckeye Tiki Bar connected to our Hotel and then went over to the
Dizzy Lizard Swim Up Bar. We had a great dinner at the Put-In-Bay
Brewing Company. We played some games in the hotel room and then went
out for the rest of the night. Before we went back to the suite we
decided to play in park. There were at least three different play sets.
With things like slides, swings, little rock climbing walls, spinning
things and tons of other stuff. It was a lot of fun!
The next day the rest of the party was planning to arrive. Before
they got there we went back to the pool, had lunch at Mossbacks Island
Bar & Grill, and then went to Heineman's Winery. At the winery you
buy a bottle and they give you little cups so you can share. We ended up
trying all four sweet wines; Sweet Concord, Pink Catawba, Sweet Belle,
and Niagara. Which actually ended up being about a bottle each. They
were all fantastic, though! Across the street was the Fort Amaz'n Maze,
and we thought it was a brilliant idea to go do this. It was a much
harder maze than we expected but it was a lot of fun until we realized
we were too old for these things. I sprained my ankle and Lauren & I
both got a splinter. The good news was Laura, Sean and Penny had
arrived on the island while we were finishing the maze!
We all were reunited and hungry. So we went to the Boardwalk for
dinner. It is nice restaurant with outside seating overlooking the lake.
We got to see pirate ships shooting canons. It was a little
distracting, but still pretty cool. After dinner we went straight to the
Dollar House for the Put-In-Bay Winery. We didn't drink another four
bottles don't worry. The rest of the night was pretty chaotic. We went
back to the room, went to some bars, saw some fireworks, played in a
boat, danced and had a good time.
The last day Sean, who worked in Put-In-Bay, took us on a tour.
First, we saw the monument. Then we got a golf cart and took a ride and
hike to the beach. It was a small beach and hidden. Then we went to the
South Bass Island State Park on the other side of the island. Then we
saw another hidden treasure that Sean found. It was some sort of
rock/cliff formation. Then we got ice cream and decided it was time to
go back to reality and go home.
We had a fabulous time with all our friends this weekend. There are
so many things to see in Put-In-Bay that I think we'll all have to plan
another trip for next year!
