fun at sherkston

It's been 8 years since Andrea introduced me to Sherkston Beach (www.sherkston.com), a fabulous resort on Lake Erie between Port Colborne and Fort Erie. The place has definitely undergone ALOT of change in the past 8 years but all for the better as it is now much more of a family-friendly vacation spot. Back in the day, Andrea and I were certainly not there on a 'family' vacation. Yep, we had some memorable times.....tent camping, hanging out on the beach, fancy summer drinks at the tiki bar....Andrea belting out karaoke....and Debra's car adventure....oooh, and the skunk incident!! Good times.


But here we are, 8 years later....married with children :0) on one of our family holidays. We had a great time, even with the crazy weather we have had this summer....the craziest, most unsettling summer weather EVER in my lifetime! We rented a trailer home privately off of kijiji...found a pretty good deal and went with it. It was comfy and with 3 small bedrooms, everyone had their own space, except for Shane who was pretty much sleep deprived the whole trip, bloodshot eyes and all. His room was the living room...the playpen would only fit there and well, that just didn't work out so well. He is definitely one who needs his own quiet space. I think he is just now finally catching up and back on schedule. Like all of us, he just wanted his own bed at home.

The beaches are beautiful and there is no limit for things to do....we definitely recommend Sherkston to any one. We will be back next summer for a full week next time. I'm already searching for a rental directly on the beach which would be sooo completely awesome...oh, and also we want a golf cart next time around. I've never seen so many golf carts in my life....whizzing around everywhere.

We also spent some time in Port Colborne...what a fabulous town! Very quaint and they had the Canal Days Festival happening for the long weekend. We checked out the vendors and then took Sydney and the boys on a tall ship cruise on Lake Erie. Lots of sunshine...maybe a bit too much as by the end, Nicholas was passed out cold on my lap. Now, that doesn't happen any more these days (I loved it...my sweet boy).
