A water adventure

We arrived home late last night from our vacation destination, which was an isle above Erie. Someone asked me today if the isle is new. I know the isle has been there for quite awhile, so, no, it's not a new isle. It became designated as a state park in 1921. It was first inhabited by Native Americans, and then the English took over and used it as a place to build ships in the early 1800s. Not new at all. There's an "environmental center" and welcome center at the entrance to the isle that explains the history, has an overlook tower, a little cafe, and a gift shop. If we were smart, we would have gone to the welcome center on Day 1 so we could have picked up a map and known what to look for. The isle contains beaches, trails, places to rent bikes, a monument, and a couple small lighthouses. The Lake Erie water wasn't too cold. The sandy beaches had small waves, seashells and seagulls, and, therefore, all the family was happy.
