after watching a discovery channel special with deb and kelly in the dead of winter, we have all been planning a trip to check out the beaches in erie for some beach glass treasures, sure we did not repel down the ocean side cliff and collect strainers and strainers of glass as they did in oregon but we did collect a little glass and had our own little adventuresome rumble (or tumble in deb's case) down to the last beach...kim had the beach glass find of the trip, stop by her blog to see her yellow treasure...but we all came away with some glass, heart rocks, smooth rocks and other unique finds...we hit a few of my favorite erie county spots...arts bakery has the worlds best iced sugar cookies, a must stop. in an effort to keep this a low budget trip and competing with local graduations we ended up staying at the microtel, yes i typed that right the microtel -- it was not as bad as anticipated we did have microrooms but they were clean microrooms so all was well in hotel land. a quick trip to the erie cemetary to snap a few shots before we headed back to ohio. back in ohio we spent the week in anticipation of kim's new arthroscopy which i can report was successfully completed yesterday..now the rehab begins but we have to accelerate the process so kim is ready for our june much anticipated excursion to wisconsin and valley ridge...we are counting down the days!

We nearly had to repel down the cliff to get to the last beach - if you hadn't found that slippery trail!! We had fun and yes, I would agree, Art's Bakery has the best iced sugar cookies (or any kind of cookie you might want for that matter) that I have ever had. DELICIOUS!!
