Perry’s Cave Family Fun Center on Put- in-Bay has the “War of 18 Holes” miniature golf course, which offers mini history les- sons about the War of 1812 along with the fun. The course is shady in parts, and beau- tifully landscaped. It has a covered bridge and a waterfall cave.
Combination tickets are available so visitors can also go to Perry’s Cave and oth- er activities at the fun center. There is a rock wall to climb – but the Butterfly House is more my speed. DanDee’s Snack Shack is probably everyone’s speed, since a trip to Put-in-Bay is a perfect time to treat yourself.
The fun center has a large, covered picnic pavilion where you can take
a break and enjoy your food and drinks.
Three Seasons Of Foliage At
Schedel Arboretum
A couple of weeks ago, I took a short trip to Elmore to the Schedel Ar- boretum and Gardens. I hadn’t been there for a few years, and I wish I had not waited so long. I know some people make a point of visiting three
times a year, so they can enjoy the spring, summer, and autumn foliage. That makes sense.

The self-guided tour takes you through eight stations in the 17-acre garden estate. Joe and Marie Schedel traveled to more than 120 countries. They brought back amazing examples of plants and artwork, much of which is on view today.
The tour takes about 1 1⁄2 to two hours, depending on how much time you want to spend. One thing I love about it is the fact that there is something for everyone who likes plants – from bonsai trees to dawn redwoods.
I would not be able to pick a favor- ite area – but I will admit that parts of the Japanese Garden brought my mind back to my childhood, when I wondered if the characters in my storybooks might really be hiding behind a plant or a statue.
Remember comfortable shoes, sun- block, and water!
