We drove out to Marblehead this morning to visit the lighthouse and have lunch at Avery’s. Avery’s is one of those small restaurants that you never forget once you have been there. This was our third visit for lunch, and we were not disappointed. Their food is very good; one of my favorites is their chicken and dumpling soup. They make all their soups and deserts. Today’s yummy sweet was blueberry pie. And of course it is always better with ice cream!
Sandusky, OH is a tourist town and weekends in the fall bring large crowds to the nearby Cedar Point. The park features seventeen roller coasters, nine other thrill rides, three carousels, six spinning rides, and numerous other rides. Along with Cedar Point, there are several large indoor water parks. Several motels have mini-parks.
This photo was taken from Marblehead showing several coasters pointing skyward.
Our next stop was at the Merry-Go-Round Museum in Sandusky, OH. Our first visit was in March of 2008 and we decided to stop again. They change part of their exhibit each winter and we wanted to catch up on the changes. The photo is of the entrance to the carousel.There is nothing like action...here is a short video of the ride.
After leaving the museum we headed across Ohio to Newcomerstown to spend the night.Our sign of the day was spotted in Marblehead. Next weekend is the last “Hurrah” of the year and everything will close down. This hotdog stand was getting a head start.
Tomorrow we will be heading home. We have had a lot of fun on this trip and part of that fun was sharing our trip with you. We had to burn the “midnight oil” several times to get the blog out on time but it was well worth the work. We will do a final entry after we arrive home. Please check back Tuesday for this final addition.
We truly enjoyed the last three weeks and hope that you did too!
