As some of you know, I like to try to plan trips and events when the crowd count is low.  This way, we get to enjoy whatever we are doing that much more because we don’t have to wait to get service and it’s just plain less stressful.

Today is such a day!  We are heading to Put-In-Bay Island this morning. 

Why you might ask? 

Well, my kids (mainly my son) really has an interest in rocks and geology in the area (pretty impressive for a 10 year old huh…).  On the island, we are going to check out the grooves left by the glaciers and the Crystal Cave (the world’s largest geode).  We will also rent a golf cart to get around just to make it fun.

Even the ride over on the ferry should be fun, at least for kids…

The island is known as a party island, so we decided to avoid the college age kids by going in the middle of the week.  The only thing to worry about when you go to such a small attraction is that there is the possibility  not everything will be open.

Luckily, that’s where google comes in!  I was able to google Put-In-Bay, and determine what is open and what isn’t!  You have to love the Internet!

So, I hope everybody has a great day tomorrow…  I’m pretty sure we will

Update: We didn’t encounter any closed attractions, and the kids loved driving in the golf cart!  Overall, a good time.

Yesterday, I posted an article at Cash Flow Sherpas  called ”Saving money by frugally fixing things“.  Check it out if you want to read about my process to save about $200 by fixing my clothes dryer…
