Visited: Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011
Growing up in Ohio, you learn about Put-in-Bay, and Perry's Victory. But I'd never been, Put-in-Bay being 90 minutes and a 40 minute ferry ride away. So today - en route to Cedar Point tomorrow - we took the (fairly pricey) ferry ride over. Only to discover that we visited during the renovation of the monument, so that we missed out on the opportunity to get to the top of the third highest structure in the NPS. We did get to see the movie (which was very enjoyable; I knew that Perry had won, but nothing more about the nature of his victory) and the visitor center (small, but nice). Ben was amazed by the selection of pins - they had 7 different ones. And two very nice patches for me, and two hiking staff emblems for Ethan. We also got to ride a local wood carousel, which was fun if missing a brass ring machine.
Next time, we'll take the shorter ferry to the South end of the island, and rent one of the omnipresent golf carts to drive up to the site.
