While we may not be able to escape this cold weather for good yet, we can at least escape it for a weekend at Castaway Bay in Sandusky, OH. The weather is always 82 degrees filled with bright colors and palm trees. That’s enough to make anyone happy in these cold dreaded months. While I stayed there with my family last month, I learned some things that I didn’t know about from previous trips that I thought I would share with all of you.
