Port Clinton, Ohio

Well, Sunday morning we got woke up at the Bestwestern Cleveland Airport Hotel at 7am. We got ready then headed down to the breakfast room for you know breakfast. Then checked out, dragged our 4 suitcases down to the front and caught the shuttle to the airport t pick up our rental car. I rent from Hertz normally because as aa AAA we get extra drivers for free. But I rarely get a nice car for my first one given to me. The same thing happened here! When we got all the way out to the car, it wouldn’t start dead battery. The employee that worked out in the yard to us to ask for an upgrade, the coworker of the woman we were working with whispered give them an upgrade. She gave us another compact car which I might add, are quite small. But that is what I rented, The car was a Chevy Spark and it is very nice. we will get good gas mileage but it isn’t very comfortable especially in the back seat. The open truck area can only hold one suitcase so the other three are stacked into the backseat.

So on we went! We had seven hours before check in time at the rental house we rented in Port Clinton, Ohio, one hour west of Cleveland. So I had looked up Cracker Barrel Restaurant and there was one in Sandusky so we headed there! Delicious Chicken Fried Chicken Steak!

Cleveland

Here we go again! Yes it is vacation time so here comes the blog, back to life! I have actually missed blogging but I feel so busy that I find I just cannot blog at home. I know, I feel busy I just don’t know if I am really that busy! I almost wrote about my little get aways or my journeys through  trials but I was to scared to do that. But here I am back into the world of blogging! I hope you all didn’t give up on me!!! Because we can travel together again from your home to my computer. Are you ready for this wild romp through the Midwest? I just hope I am...

This is a vacation with our children and our grandchildren, all together for 7 nights in Port Clinton, Ohio! I know, you ask why Port Clinton and why Ohio? Good question! Our daughter said they were interested in going to Cedar Point Amusement Park. It is one of the oldest amusement parks in the USA! So we said sure! I saw it from a distance one year back in maybe 1994. So Bud and I rented a home that use to be a bed and breakfast and so the planning began! Maps, paper, pencils, booking.com, travel books, etc. As the trip unfolds you will see what we decided to do and our itinerary will become your itinerary!
