Vacation to Port Clinton in August

In August we got to take another trip to Port Clinton. We went to a few favorite restaurants and spots, but we also enjoyed trying some new things like the African Safari and our first family trip to Cedar Point. It was a great time.

Here we are playing around at the resort where we stayed. They had great pools that we enjoyed and open grounds to stroll around on. Lot's of beautiful birds everywhere. I'm not sure why I decided to take a picture in front of the gravel pile...but it really was pretty despite that.

A day before we left for the trip Cole broke his little toe while jumping on the trampoline. I got some pictures of his boot and Juliet helping his around. Really after the first day he was back to himself and was able to get around with only a little difficulty. In truth the broken toe probably saved us from losing Cole at Cedar Point or at other spots. So it had its up sides.



The African Safari was a hoot. I guess I hadn't realized how exhilarating it would be to have animals coming right up to your car to eat. It was actually terrifying at times, but a lot of fun, and very memorable.





They also had pony and camel rides that Juliet and Cole enjoyed.


It was too busy at Cedar Point to get too many pictures, but here is one of the kids ringing out their clothes after getting soaked on a water ride. Vivien and I opted out of that one.



One of our favorite spots is on the shore right by the lighthouse.



Here is Juliet sketching Vivien. She looks like such a serious artist.

We had a great time and loved just being able to be together as a family!
