Weekend Getaway

When Daddy had an entire weekend off earlier this summer, we decided to take advantage of the time by spending a few days at the beautiful islands of Lake Erie. 


Lakeside

On Saturday morning, we drove to Lakeside to enjoy one of Daddy's favorite family vacation spots.

In the evening, we went to an OSU alumni marching band concert. Alumni drum majors performed intricate routines with their maces, they did a "script Lakeside," where drum majors led folks around the auditorium, and played the fight songs, Hang on Sloopy, and more.  It was so much fun!  And now Ainsley knows how to do O-H!  I-O!


Put-in-Bay

Sunday morning, we took the Jet Express to Put-in-Bay. It was Ainsley's first trip to the island! She was a little nervous on the Jet Express at first, but once we got started, she had a blast!

Heading back on the Jet Express after an
awesome day!
As we approached land on the way home, we watched a bald eagle soar in front of the Jet Express and fly over to its nest in the trees. Everyone was amazed and tried to take pictures of this once-in-a-lifetime sight. It was incredible!
