Our trip to Kelley's Island, Ohio

This is my favorite picture from our trip!

It was wonderful! We had an amazing time! It's such a beautiful place and not too far from home. It was so relaxing. We stayed at a beautiful bed and breakfast, that Julia Roberts had stayed at. We stayed in the same room as she did. We didn't know that when we picked that room, I guess she has good taste like we do! lol The room was on the 3rd floor and we had panoramic views of Lake Erie. We used bicycles to get around the island. We had our vehicle there, but most people travel by bike or golf cart. The golf carts were $8/hour to rent, and that was the reduced fee, so we chose to do the free bicycle thing! lol It was good exercise and was really fun.

We ate at some great restaurants. They have a winery there and we ate dinner there the first night. We ate dinner the next night at this place called the Island House. It is in an old house, but it super modern. I really liked it. I don't usually like modern things, but it looked kind of neat in this old house with the old trim. The owner did a wonderful job with the decorating. The light fixtures and everything fit in so well. The waiters were awesome and the food was delicious. We had lunch at a this cute tavern called The Winking Lizard. It was good and had a great view of the lake.

We had massages one night. I had never had a massage before, but I really enjoyed it. We went hiking in the woods and found the old lime kilns that were used when there was a quarry there. There used to be a few stone quarries on the island, and there still is one today. We saw the glacial grooves, which were very impressive.

Of course, I called home a billion times to check on the kids! lol We left a day early, but we had done everything we had wanted to do, so it was nice to get home a night early, especially since we had so much to do the following day!
