MINI VACATION GUIDE: LAKE ERIE


Dear Olive,

This weekend we met some extended family at a Lake Erie for a few nights.  We go every year and it there is something about being on the water that slows everything down.  We ate steak, floated in the lake, and took long naps.


Ella wore her swimsuit all day and ate pie for lunch.


Gabriel learned to "swim."




One afternoon we made foil boats and launched them into the lake to see which would float.




Pap was kind enough to recover the vessels so that we didn't leave any litter behind.


And we ended each night with an amazing sunset.


Since we visit Geneva on the Lake every year, we've zeroed in on the best sites and rentals.  Here are my recommendations:

STAY

Stay in one of these cottages with your small family

Lakefront on the Strip


Tiny Cedar Cabins at the State Park


Acorn Cottage: Tucked Away with a Hot Tub


Or this one with an extended crew.

Lakefront with Private Beach Sleeps 13


EAT

We dine at home most nights but the following eats on the strip are a must:

Eddie's Grill for lemonade and fries


Madsen Donuts


The Old Firehouse Winery


PLAY
