Thank you so much for so many details!! The largest beach in ohio sounds great!!! The numerous steps with 4 kids don't, lol......the fairport harbor sounded nice to see the lighthouses because i LOVE to tour lighthousees! Worth a drive to me, but my gps only said 54 minutes for that route i think. I'm going to look into the Lorain Lighthouse, i didn't even know there was a closer lighthouse tour. a trip to the lighthouse by...

Thanks for the trip report....Glad you enjoyed your birthday!!

Crosswoods sounds interesting. I'll check that out too. I've noticed a couple of hotels in Old Worthington. Is that a nice area? Safe (-ish)? Thanks for your input!

There is no bus service in Sandusky nor are you going to get to Cleveland by any public transportation. If you do not have a car look for a hotel that my provide shuttle service to Cedar Point. Can't think of any that do, but I'm sure some may. A taxi could prove to be expensive. Your best bet is to stay on the grounds.

There is an Archiver's store (strictly for scrapbooking) near the North Olmsted mall, just south of Westlake off Lorain Avenue

Great! Thanks!

You will be able to find what you've looking for near either hotel but the Comfort Inn is within easy walking distance of both Hofbrau Newport (very good beer and atmosphere but little in the way of TV's) and Arnie's (a better than average sports bar).

What I can offer/suggest, is that you read (most/all) of the other reviews - at least those that are for stays in the last few months or so - before making your decision. I'm not saying this review is made up, but It is not rare to see anomalous reviews on TA. There's a lot of different reasons for these and I won't go into...

I like the icewine suggestion but that could be difficult to transport; you'd have to pack it very carefully and safely and put it in your checked luggage; you can't board with it. Alternately, the museum gift shop does have some very nice things so that would be a great 2nd choice.

there's not alot to "do" in Hocking Hills per se. It's an area for hiking. We've been in the winter and really enjoyed the snowy scenes. Most of the cabins there have hot tubs and fire places. Makes for a romantic weekend if that is your goal.
