After the drive-through animal safari (see my previous post). We were SO ready for dinner, but instead, we headed to Ghostly Manor in Sandusky, Ohio, hoping to beat the Saturday night crowds. It’s weird because it’s a haunted house that’s open year-round, and it’s in the middle of a roller skating rink / arcade. You pay […]

Well, school starts on Tuesday, so for one last summery hurrah, we ventured over to the coastal cities in Ohio on Lake Erie for some fun. First stop was the African Safari Park in Port Clinton, which is really more of a drive-thru zoo than anything having to do with Africa. They do have zebras, giraffes, and

We were privilaged to get to spend an evening without kids to take in a local community theater’s production of Little Women, the Musical. I must be honest – the music in this musical is not my favorite. It has nothing to do with how it was performed or who sang it; it just seemed
Oops, I forgot to mention a few things about the Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend, Indiana in my post the other day. Even though it was small and not very well taken care of from an aesthetic point of view, we had some of the best animal encounters there – can’t believe I forgot to
