Put-in-Bay, Ohio<\/a> \u2013 Neither and I had ever been here before and some of the parties that go on are legendary so truthfully we were not overly excited but submitted to peer pressure and made a stop! Our stop was a mid-week stop so we figured any potential parties were likely to be contained\u2026and in fact they were. We had a delightful visit and with a such a historic monument greeting us, how could we not?<\/p>\n

We even had a double ended rainbow with no rain show itself\u2026how cool is that, a rainbow and never getting wet<\/p>\n

Of course our very first stop had to be a history lesson which we were a bit ignorant of, but that is why we do this. <\/p>\n

Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I sure do appreciated plaques that to the explaining here so I dont have  too!<\/p>\n

You have likely heard the phrase but now you know the origin!<\/p>\n

Zoom in\u2026.<\/p>\n

Viewed from the top of the Memorial, Magnolia grabbed a mooring ball. Mid week, the mooring field was empty. We were told by the weekend it would be full and people rafted up!<\/p>\n

Magnolia is the last vessel down and left in photo.<\/p>\n

The view to the NE from the memorial<\/p>\n

As expected the town is all about the tourist. It felt like a mini Block Island RI though BL has better ice cream\u2026.yes it is true! Seeing this sign immediately made of think of our friend Frank & Elaine wondering on the progress of their project? I also know what we will be doing when we arrive in Towanda NY\u2026..<\/p>\n

I had no idea that northern ohio was such a hot bed of carousels, but more on that in the next post! <\/p>\n

\"20180724_142410\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also made a stop across the harbor to Gibraltar Island<\/a> which is home to the Stone Laboratory<\/a> operated by Ohio State University. <\/p>\n

They study much of the great lakes ecosystem and that includes snakes\u2026.yeah, my favorite!<\/p>\n

But in addition to the science, there was some history so that was the up-shoot! More information about Jay Cooke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Supposedly this man-made cave was used during prohibition to smuggle booze in from Canada (un-substantiated) <\/p>\n

In an effort to escape the tourist area (ok, the best we could) we were told of a place the locals go outside of town. It was a lovely way to wind down our stay and I enjoyed the bottle of beer talking to me about the history of Oliver Hazzard Perry\u2026.it was amazing!!!!! \"Smile\"<\/p>\n
