Put-in Bay

July 18th-20th

Went camping in Put-in Bay with Dave, Cliff & Boo.

Arrived on Friday afternoon and got our 'houses' set up.





Thanks to Cliff, we had a fabulous dinner cooked in pie irons over the fire. Pizza, grilled cheese, grilled ham & cheese, etc.




After dinner, we rode bikes downtown to the Beer Barrel Saloon where we enjoyed a night watching Cincinnati's own... "The Menus".






This was Cliff & Boo's first time seeing them, so we were excited to share the bands antics with them. It had been a year since Dave and I had seen them - they were better than ever!








After the show, we rode our bikes back to the campground. Not nearly as dark as it was last summer when Dave and I did the same. We had dawgs & brats when we got back and then settled in for the night.



On Saturday morning, it rained for a while. We piled in the Pilot and drove around the island for a while. When we returned, Cliff & Dave went golfing while Boo and I relaxed.



It rained off and on all day.



In the evening, we walked around downtown and went out on some of the boat docks. Wow! What a adventure that was! Lots of drunk 50+ year olds. It was a scene man!



Due to the weather, we took a cab to the Beer Barrel Saloon and had another night of "The Menus". They set a record of over 3,000 people there for the show. Which is pretty amazing for a cover band.




The cab ride back to the campground was interesting to say the least. Drunk people are so annoying (not us of course)!




We invited some of our 'neighbors' (students from Kent St.) over for dawgs & brats when we got back.



It continued to rain off & on all night.


We got up around 7 on Sunday - packed up and headed home.



It was a fabulous weekend with friends - the perfect sendoff for my trip to China.



We are already planning our camping extravaganza for next summer!
