A Housewarming in Bay Village, OH!

This weekend we traveled only 2.5 hours to visit my Mom and Dad!!!  2.5 hours! My parents are the proud owners of a new house in Bay Village, Ohio.  

Congratulations Mom & Dad!

The community truly feels like a beach town, and the house gives off a beachy feel as well.  Only about a block away from Lake Erie, you can see and hear the waves crashing from the front windows of their house!

On Saturday we took a walk down to the lake!

On Sunday we went to a nearby beach where you can set-up and spend the day on the sand.  It was a bit too cold and windy for a true beach day, but it didn't stop us from checking it out!

The girls look forward to lots of time with MeMe and Papa at this beach!!

Reagan seemed to like the wind!

We also went to a Children's Fair at the Lake Erie Nature & Science Center.  The girls had a blast!

We bought 5 ducks to race in the Great Ducky Race.  It was pretty cool seeing all of those rubber ducks racing toward the finish line!

None of our ducks won, though! Oh well!

 The only negative I can see when it comes to my parents move from North Carolina to Ohio is the view of Downtown Cleveland from their beach, and the fact that when people ask me where my parents live I feel like I have to make it clear that I am NOT from Cleveland and my parents are not native Clevelanders!  It is VERY nice however, to be able to travel to see them in a little over 2 hours.  It sure beats the 8-10 hour drive to NC! 

The view of Cleveland...

Thanks for having us!  It was a great weekend in Bay Village!
