Armed with a small cooler, our guide book, and a camera we headed to the lakefront. We drove toward small town of Vermillion, Ohio. This light was a bit difficult at first to find (actually, instead of stopping and asking where the park was located we drove around aimlessly). After circling up and down US Highway 6 a couple of times we agreed to just pull into the downtown area. Sure enough, at the bottom of a small hill at the end of Main Street was The Inland Seas Maritime Museum. Of course, the museum is open daily from 10am to 5pm, so when we stroll in at 5:15 they are already closed! Well, looks like we'll have to make another trip.
We still made the most of our visit and walked around the grounds.

Taylor really enjoyed getting her feet wet on the beach. We strolled along a while, collecting shells and rocks and even found a playground nearby. Matt and I watched her climb on the jungle gym while we took in the late summer breeze off the lake. We could hardly pull her away, but we had more to see.

With sunset approaching, we made it back to our Jeep, and headed east to Lorain.
More to come...
