We spent the July 4th weekend at Marblehead and Put-In Bay along Ohio's Lake Erie shore.  We got a late start on the 4th and virtually lost a day due to severe thunder storms in the area.  We immediately started planning indoor activities for the remainder of the stay.

Despite clouds and light rain on Saturday morning, we took the ferry to South Bass Island, also known as Put-In Bay.  It turned out to be perfect weather.  Good thing, too, the primary transportation on the island is golf carts. We stopped by Commander Perry's monument and DeRivera Park in the heart of downtown.

We stayed at the South Beach Resort and enjoyed our in-room Jacuzzi (couldn't get the babies out), swimming, and a jet boat (couldn't get Michael and Beth out).
