Hotel Breakers has opened its doors for the 2015 season sporting a brand new look. I’ve stayed at this 110 year old Cedar Point property on two other occasions and have enjoyed my stay because of the proximity to the park and the spectacular beach views, but always found the interior and rooms in much…

Needle’s Eye: One of Ohio’s Natural Arches
Ohio has more than eighty natural arches recorded, of that number, less than half are accessible to the public. The majority of the rock formations are located in southern Ohio, in Hocking, Highland and Adams counties. A couple of the arches are even found underground in Olentangy Indian Caverns. Another, known as Needle’s Eye, visible…
The Maritime Museum of Sandusky
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been familiar with Lake Erie. As a young girl, I remember visiting the Marblehead Lighthouse with my parent’s, fishing with my dad on the lake (not my favorite memory as I tend to get a bit queasy on the lake) and listening to my dad recount his experience ice fishing.

A Put-in-Bay Getaway
When people think of Ohio, I can almost guarantee that they don’t think shoreline and islands. I guess that’s one of Ohio’s best kept secrets- though it’s not really a secret since we Buckeyes try to tell everyone how great Ohio really is. I know I try to do my part to convince people they need to come…
A Delightfully Lazy Day at Put-in-Bay
I grew up spending lazy summer days along the Lake Erie shore in Marblehead and Port Clinton. There were even a few occasions when I would accompany my dad on a fishing excursion- though those trips were few and far between. While my dad preferred and still prefers to experience Lake Erie while being in…
