Labor Day Weekend Re-Cap

Although we did not make it up to Kelleys, we had a really nice family packed Labor Day weekend. Let it be known for the record, this will be the last summer holiday weekend that we will not be on the island! (Unless some unforeseen problem prevents us from having plumbing installed before Memorial Day 2013)

Bonnie and I started the long weekend with the Browns game on Thursday night. Despite it was a meaningless pre-season game, the weather was perfect and Bon and I got to hit some cool downtown spots for cocktails and appetizers. We got to check-out our new season ticket seats! The view is great, but I think we are in what is considered "nose-bleed" upper dawg-pound. To our dismay, we discovered that the Legends bar (directly beneath our seats) is now a private club and not open to the public as it had been for years. Sheez, the ticket sales rep neglected to mention that tidbit of information! More Browns updates to follow as the season unfolds - as usual, I am cautiously optimistic.

On Saturday, we loaded up the crew and headed to African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton. This place is great and has become an annual family tradition.

After spending the day at Safari Park, we headed to Quaker Steak & Lube at McGarvey's Landing in Vermilion for dinner to watch the sunset and the boats.

Monday, we went to a family party (for Mom's birthday at the Pyke's) that started out at Clifton Beach so the kids could play.

This upcoming weekend, I will be going up to Kelleys for the gutter installation and other miscellaneous stuff. More to come...
