A Day at Presque Isle

 Vanlog, Cracker Barrel Parking Lot, Pittsburgh, PA

August 11, 2020

One of the nice things about being so far north is that they have a bunch of Tim Horton's in Erie PA. Tim Horton's is the Canadian version of Dunkin Donuts and it is far superior. Their Canadian maple donut s my favorite, a custard-filled donut dipped in maple glaze topping. I had two for breakfast before we drove into Presque Isle State Park. We drove around looking at the light houses and the Perry Monument (from the War of 1812) before settling at Beach 8 for about four hours. 







It was very breezy and cool on the beach, so after we had lunch in the van (with this view), I stayed in the van with the sliding door open and laid on the couch looking out. I could still feel the breeze and hear the waves crashing into the ocean but without any sunburn or sandy mess. 

Jessica really wanted to go kayaking, so we rented a tandem kayak for an hour and tooled around the lagoon. We saw a heron and several turtles, as well as lots of waterlilies.
