Well, life is kinda crazy right now, isn’t it?
We are stuck in our house along with most everyone else in our city to try to keep the bug from spreading. Luckily, we were able to get in our trip up north to see the area and find some lovely snow. I know you all can’t get out to this area anytime soon but I hope you will save some of these articles for ideas for your next trip because we had an absolutely marvelous time and I would love you to see some of the areas we discovered.
Before carefully packing up all our goodies for the trip, we jetted over to Kohl’s to check out some special deals they had going on. They are one of my very favorite stores in our area and you can find just about anything you need from clothes for everyone in your family to furnishings for your house. You can check their web page where you can find just about anything you need from clothes for everyone in your family to furnishings for your house. A good half of the items in my clothes closet to bedding, towels, etc. all come from one of their stores so check them out.
Once we got back home, we loaded up everything in our vehicle and headed up north to Sandusky, Ohio where we had read they had snow. It didn’t take long to drive into snow and it was wonderful to have the surroundings change from our warmer temperatures to icy cold snow. Snow covered the ground everywhere we looked and we were just thrilled with our wonderful stay at the Kalahari Resort. They have several places to stay in the area and we were astonished at the size of the resort and everything they had to offer from indoor and outdoor water parks to fabulous, comfortable rooms, to great restaurants where we had some wonderful meals.
We couldn’t believe all the water park areas both outside and inside the hotel and could see why people were checking in to spend time in the water.
Outdoor water park. So much fun in warm weather!
We settled into our beautiful room and unpacked what we needed for the night, then had a great night’s sleep. In the morning, we had a wonderful breakfast, then headed out to see the area and meet with our Lake Erie Shores and Island representative for lunch and some information about the area and what we should try to see. Jill Bauer was our contact person and she treated us to a wonderful lunch, then shared some ideas of what to do with our afternoon.
First, we drove to one of the beer locations in the area thinking we would take a tour, buy some beer to take home and just enjoy ourselves. The area was beautiful and I’m sure is really lovely in other months but the heavy snow had ground everything to a standstill. We make our way through the snow and ice to the front door of the place but it was silent and deserted. Not even open. Oh well, there goes our idea of a tour and buying some beer. Maybe on our next visit which was becoming more real the more we tried to see the area.
Beautiful beer location
Another area we wanted to see was some of the lighthouses so we spent a little time finding one of the lighthouses on the lake. Again, everything was quiet and deserted and we were the only visitors in the area.

The lighthouse was right by the water and it was a gray, cloudy day so the water was dark and unappealing.

We finally admitted defeat in our quest to see the area and headed back to our lovely and cozy hotel. The weather and the snow had made this not quite the appealing trip we had envisioned so we made up our minds that we would return when the weather was nicer and see some of the area that we had missed on this trip. We talked the rest of the way on our trip about our next visit when the weather was nice and everything we would see.
No bad weather to deal with. Sounds good, right?
