Speaking of making memories, my daughter decided that we needed to take a family vacation this summer and go camping up at Lake Erie like we used to every year.
We jumped at the notion. Now that our "little one" is going into her junior year of college, it is rare that we get these opportunities. What a great time we had. This is one of our usual stops, Marblehead Lighthouse near Lakeside, Ohio. We actually got to go to the top one year and look out. We knew a couple of different people who used to live at the keepers house located to the right. It's now turned into a museum. Yes, they're trying to hold up the lighthouse!

We had fun taking the ferry over from Port Clinton to South Bass Island, too. Here's the view from Perry's Monument overlooking Put-in-Bay. 
And of course, the best way to see the island is by golf cart!
And to top off the trip, a stop at the Ohio State Fair. Of course, we had to stop and see Smokey Bear. I actually had the privilege to help work with Smokey one year. My husband worked it a couple. Smokey talks to the kids and his helpers ask them their names and try to phonetically spell them out on a card so that they can see them from the building behind him. (Oops. That's top secret.)
