A Bright Idea

There are some neat places here outside of Sandusky, Ohio!

About a half hour south (where I stayed) is the town of Milan, Ohio. Small town but with tons of history! There is a collection of buildings that make up the Thomas Edison museum.

In Sandusky itself, there is so much more than roller coasters and indoor water parks. For starters, downtown in the park across from the county building is a merry-go-round museum located in an old post office. How cool is that??

About a half hour north west is Port Clinton we found a few fun food spots. First was some breakfast sandwiches and coffee at Rudders. And always one to check out the local food, here are a couple of my colleagues trying the drive-in ice cream place. I tried the classic buckeye sundae. It made my taste buds so happy! It's named for the buckeye tree or school mascot which are both big in Ohio. The ice cream has these chocolate and peanut butter pieces mixed into it. Yummy!

It's never too cold for ice cream!
