Jackson Pier is an enchanting space overlooking LakeErie. It’s the best place to stay and spend time overlooking the lake. One can enjoy the soft, cool breeze while sipping on a warm cup of coffee. The area is buzzing with activity over the weekend when people from nearby towns come and visit the place. There are food vans, movie vans and other live entertainment got people to enjoy. #Jackson pier #Lake Erie #Lake

Lake Erie, a beautiful lake in Ohio/ Michigan/ Ontario, a spectacle of beauty and calm. One can spend an entire day looking at the calm waters with soft ripples. The best time to visit is in the evening during the sunset, to enjoy the multi-coloured sky. Great place for early morning walkers too. One can even take the jet ride along the lake. #Erie #Jet ride #Lake

I love the hostels I stayed at last year

this was my third trip to cedar point and it may be my last. my first time was amazing, really short lines and we won free shirts, a pass to cut a line and overall just really enjoyed it. second time was fun with our fast pass until we got the call that my grandma broke her collarbone while dog sitting my pup…ugh was not a great way to end the summer for any of us. but in regards to the park, ‘twas fun. the last visit the lines were the longest I’ve ever witnessed due to school trips, I’ve always gone later in the summer but went before school let out this time thinking it would have no lines but was I mistaken. lots of people were cutting and it was frustrating, but the rides themselves are super fun but most were closed this last trip. just be wary of the days and times you go because you never know when the lines will be massive. #themepark #cedarpoint
