I went to Put-in-Bay with Mom, Jessica, and Alena.

We took the ferry, which is always fun. Love me a good boat journey.


At the museum there, we learned about the various nautical shenanigans  that occurred in lake Erie during the civil war, such as the worlds  first and only successful cavalry charge against a boat.

Note: this is apparently incorrect. the battle we learned about took place in Holland, not lake Erie.

In the park, they were doing a cannon demonstration. As one would expect, it was very loud.

Towards the end of the day, we got a bit lost and Jessica ran out of  steam from all the walking, so it was a bit of a struggle walking back  to the ferry, but we managed to make it.
