Happy thoughts . . .: September 2009

Good afternoon everyone!! Each year, for several years now, we have gone to Port Clinton, Ohio. This town is such a fabulous little place filled with so many neat things! Here is our itinerairy for our day trips:

The Great Lakes Popcorn - a spectacular place that sells speciality popcorn. At Christmas time they make a wonderful mint popcorn drizzled with chocolate! It is SOO yummy!
Pizza House - If you love pizza then this is the place to go. They make the BEST pizza ever! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
The Beach - which one you might ask? Port Clinton has several! We regularly visit a couple of different ones. There is one right alongside of the road that has TONS of seashells for little children to collect and rejoice over!
Bay Point Marina - This place is awesome!! I know that this place costs money to get into, however because of the before mentioned love of Jeremy by his stops, we get in free!! A pretty sweet deal if you ask me! Several years ago, they had this really neat Mini-Golf area, which is now gone. (Hence the scarpbook pages at the end of this post!) However, the beach is BEAUTIFUL!! Crystal clear sand that feels very nice between your toes, and the food is specatular there! Why, might you ask?? Because Eric the Pizza House man, has opened a Pizza House there right by the beach!! Let me tell you - I was in HEAVEN!! A beautiful beach and my beloved Pizza! What a wonderful combination!!
Marble Head Lighthouse - This place is a must visit for the photographer in the family! With Lake Erie right there, it provides a beautiful backdrop for some spectacular pictures! Plus if you can, you can take a tour up inside the oldest lighthouse in continuous operation on the Great Lakes. It is AWESOME and well worth the time!
The African Wildlife Safari - This place is super cool!! Warning - you will need a car wash after visiting here! You drive through the safari and feed the animals. It is a wonderful adventure. I will post pictures sometime - the kids had a blast!!
