On the Radar- Family travel plans for this summer

It's gorgeous, sunny and warm, finally, here in Ohio. Probably like many of you, we have been finalizing our summer vacation plans. This year, we are heading to Pennsylvania -Fallingwater (Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous design), Polymath Park (staying at Duncan House to celebrate Bailey's graduation from O.U.< just what everyone wants for a gift when they graduate, right? *her sister Bree wants me to include and clarify here that Bailey is a nerd so I will, but just because we all are ;) *
First though we are headed to Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in southwestern Pennsylvania and cannot wait! We'll be staying at the resort, which seems like a cruise ship parked in the middle of scenic PA. So much to do, not even sure where to start. They have outdoor adventures (zip lines, climbing walls, off road adventures, fly fishing, horseback riding, wild animal safaris, a spa that is out of this world, tons of kids activities and probably the most intriguing thing for me: Dog sledding. Of course, we won't be doing that this summer (although they have a warm weather version on wheels, I definitely want to go back to try dog sledding in the winter- and the Resort has plenty to do then too).
We'll also be heading "Up North" as Michiganders say, when Bree heads off to dance camp.  We'll hopefully schedule a visit with our much-loved cousins and stop by the Henry Ford Museum as well as take in some of Michigan's fun and sun. Maybe we can squeeze in a stop over in New Buffalo, which I will write more about later.
Of course we will be spending lots of time at Cedar Point this summer, America's "Roller Coast" but my true hometown home. We're going to spend a day at Castaway Bay, CP's own water park right next to the causeway entrance.
This weekend though, we are staying put, enjoying the pool and taking part in our neighborhood garage sale and cub scout car wash. Thankfully "normal" weather is here, after a May that brought twice the normal rainfall, cold and then extremely hot temperatures. The outlook is perfect for summer vacation fun!
