Rained during the night and early this morning - then a little sunshine, but mostly cloudy and VERY windy rest of the day! We did laundry and happy to be back with Barb and her immaculate laundromat here in Port Clinton.
Mark ran some errands while I was washin' and dryin' including getting us coffees and a breakfast sandwich for him at R Coffee Corner. Stopped at Amazon to pick up a package and on home. Got clean clothes put away and set to packing for our NC trip tomorrow. We're going to celebrate Brady's graduation Thursday night; party for the grads (Brady and Davis) on Friday night and Ryan's birthday next Sunday! We'll be gone a week....
Liam and Connor called this morning from Cheyenne - they were headed to Colorado and thought they would stop at Estes Park and remembered Grandpa and I had spent our honeymoon there. They wondered if we could recommend a good place for breakfast.....we had a good laugh as that was "55" years ago!!!!! We told them to check our trusty Trip Advisor so that was the plan!!! They are alternating staying in campgrounds (tent camping) and hotels.
Mark installed a new bilge pump and then we walked downtown at 2 to Waterworks Park and the big Walleye Festival......today was the last day of the 4-day event - lots of vendors for crafts, all kinds of food/drinks + the big carnival! It was actually chilly with the crazy winds and ominous looking skies but we thoroughly enjoyed our perch/walleye sandwiches, fries and lemon shake-up.
The downtown area has part of Madison Street closed off during the season for band concerts, dancing, eating, etc. They painted several of the concrete barriers - pretty cool...here are a few
On home for short naps and then finished up the packing and got Flo and Big Red settled in the storage building. Ran out of time and energy to give them a good washing, but with all the rain, they look pretty good
We knew that Michael, Chris, adult son and friend left this morning for Put in Bay.....wondered about that with the crazy winds, but away they went in their new boat (it's a 2003, but a real beauty). Bob told us they were stranded over there and probably would spend the night as the winds aren't to die down till late tonight and Lake Erie is pretty nasty.
