Weekend At The Cottage

....could also be under "paradise" in the dictionary.

My dictionary, that is. ;)

We spent the weekend at the lake (in Port Clinton) with Billy's parents, siblings, and grandparents, and naturally it was wonderful, relaxing, and really- just perfect. You know how everyone has their "happy place"? This would probably be ours. Have you noticed I'm somewhat a pool/water/sunshine rat in the summer? 'Tis true. I dare you to try and pry me away.


Both Billy and I enjoy being on the water and it's so fun to escape the city for a weekend and spend quality time with family. I'm thinking we need to get our own little cottage, yes? Let's get on that, babe. As you can probably guess, the majority of the weekend was spent on Billy's parents new boat, jetskiing (I got up to 55mph before the lake waves almost knocked me off!), and at Put In Bay. Put in Bay (an island full of bars/restaurants/fun activities) is only a short boat ride from the cottage, so we spent the afternoon on Saturday there and rented a golf cart to drive around the island and bar hop! They have a couple beautiful wineries on the island as well. On Sunday, we took the boat out to Cedar Point (one of the largest amusements parks) and cruised around there.  

Let's let the pictures do the explaining since they do a much better job than I do...

...Can we go back now?!

Just beautiful.

We're hoping to get many more weekends at the cottage this year!

Have you been to Put In Bay before? 

Definitely take a trip there and Cedar Point if you are ever in town visiting...it's a guaranteed great time!


If you have a minute, would you pray for Billy's grandpa? He isn't doing too well and I know Billy's family would appreciate any prayers his way. We love him so much!
