See the tail lights curved around for as far as you can see...

This is the traffic jam we got in on I-71 driving home that night. We thought we were making good time because Stella had to spend the day in apts. the next day at the hospital so we didn't want her to be too tired. We got up at 6:00 a.m. that morning so we could eat and catch the early ferry over. We took a different route home - which was under construction. It is the second worst traffic jam I have ever been in (1st being Chicago) and it took us 6 hours to get back to our hotel. It was almost 2:00 a.m. when we got Stella to bed:( The funny part is the kids had fun. We turned the music up loud, laughed at people and their cars, watched a little road rage, and talked. As soon as we were able to exit and take back roads home they all went to sleep because the excitement was over. We joked around that sitting in that traffic jam would be the highlight of our trip and the thing we talked about most when we got home.

By the end of the day of fun in the sun this is what everyone looked like on the ferry ride.

Our day at PUT-IN BAY Island - Lake Erie
The U.S. /Canada border cuts through the middle of lake Erie. We drove 2 1/2 hours from Columbus and took a ferry out to the island. We rented a 6 person golf cart for the day and the boys rented jet skis. They say they drove to Canada on them???
