Put-In-Butt.

I went up to Sandusky and Put-In-Bay last weekend to visit some friends. A good time was had. Anything that doesn't happen in Springfield is an exciting event to me though...

Beautiful! After almost getting pulled over on our 3.5 hr car ride through the country (yuck!), I was delighted to see something other than cornfields. This is the view from Poe's condo...lucky bastard.


PoeDizzle...DO WORK!

When Renee and Matt finally got there fresh off of their romantic drive we went to dinner. After dinner, Miller came by and we all went swimming (we waited 30 minutes, I promise). We heard stories of Poe living the life...making out with 45 year old married women and what not. After that we went and watched fireworks...


Yes, that is exactly what it looks like. Renee Hartman, an OSU student in a M*ch*gan hoodie. What an effing traitor. For the record, Miller threw it off the balcony later that night. It somehow took Renee and "Matt 2" like an hour and a half to find it....in moments like this, we very obviously do the wink and nudge...


If we didn't look so damned cute in this one I'd be ashamed. Cuteness overrules M*ch*gan though...at least I hope so...I must admit, I felt a little unclean after sitting next to that hoodie...


I tried really hard to take pictures of the fireworks but I failed miserably as evidenced by this picture...


And this one...

After the fireworks we went back to the condo and enjoyed brews and stand-up comedy. Poe made some exquisite nachos for my eating pleasure. We all went to bed b/c we had to catch the Ferry the next morning.

We were supposed to take the 11:30am Ferry to Put-In-Bay. We ended up on the 12:30pm or 1pm, I'm not sure which. Needless to say, we're bad at staying on schedule. Even though I was the only CP in the group, we were definitely running on CP Time.


I don't know what that face means....?


Cute couple and the requisite 3rd wheel.


It seemed like a good idea to take a picture of this at the time...now I'm not so sure?


Random Island...it's probably crawling with things I hate like nature and what have you.


Since there were two Matt's (Ellinger and Chasar) on the trip it caused some confusion for Renee (go figure), so she preceded to call this one "Ellinger" or "Matt 1." Why her boyfriend wasn't "Matt 1" I'll never know...


Nature-ific island again. Uck.


Poe was so relaxed, feeling the breeze hit his face and run through his erm...hat.


Someone's "backyard." Lucky jerks.

Once we got there it wasn't long before Poe pressured his Dad to take us out on the boat.


Too cute for their own good...


Poe wishes he was that lucky...


We saw a car driving around in the water which raised the question in my brain, what do you call that? A carboat? A boatcar? It drives in water and on land! Baller.


Some monument...Kelley's maybe? I have no idea. I just saw something tall that had a slight air of importance.


Matt 1 and I on the boat.


I wish everyday of my life included friends, beers and boats...


Matt was ready for a picture but...I guess I thought something was really funny. Funny enough to let the double chin shine in all it's glory.


Renee and Matt just look so made for a boat ride on the water, damn them.


We decided to go for a swim in the snake infested water. I was in for all of 3 minutes before Renee told me there was a snake not far from us. I saw the bastard swimming around on top of the water and I was scared shitless. I couldn't get out though for fear of looking like a gigantic pussy.


Papa Poe snapped some pics from the boat. Renee may have been clinging because of the SCARY-ASS snake swimming around.


That picture just evokes summertime for white folks.


I had to get a shot on the back of the boat. I could've stayed out there all day...


I was terrified of that dang snake. So there's me clinging to Renee for dear life. A black person in a giant, deep body of water with snakes swimming around...Hell yeah, I break stereotypes on a daily basis.


We tried again and I seem a little more relaxed. I am at peace with the snakes. Not really but, I was about 2 feet away from the boat so if one came near, I was super close to being out of the water. That's a very comforting notion.


I think Stone Lab is on that...I could be mistaken though.


Boats. I want a baller boat. There was a real baller-ass boat from Florida there. It was more a Yacht than a boat. It had like 4 bedrooms and a big kitchen...basically a house. If only....


Look how hard they look.


All it takes is a pretty lady in a swim suit to soften them up.




Cute. Renee and I talked about how erm...chesty her swim suit made her look. Apparently there are magazine articles to help you out when picking one.


The gentlemen. Matt 1, Matt 2 and PoeDizzle. Renee was happy with this one because Matt 2 looks really cut. She's a pervert skeez...


Poe took us up to this crazy ass house. Renee was scared to go but...we all made fun of her until she gave in. Peer Pressure, hurray!


Sweet ass house right on the edge of the water...well a cliff, with the water under it.


View from the backyard.


This house really made me think. Is it a boathouse? or a houseboat? It's a Boat first and a house second...but since it couldn't stay afloat if on water, maybe it's a house first. It's a very confusing matter.


View from the houseboat/boathouse.


A sweet cave down below the boathouse/houseboat. That's as baller as Hugh Hef's grotto.


Oh geez, that looks like a honeymoon picture or something.


A much less schmultzy picture...though that could be because Renee and Matt 2 are dating while myself and Matt 1 are not.


Pretty much my favorite picture ever.


Had to get a shot of the "Poe-tential"...I still liked the name, "Poe Folks" better.


What you can't tell is the thing we're standing on was about 5 feet off of the ground. The waves were pretty intense.


Group picture. I wish Ashley didn't have to work. Then there'd be a bit more color....


I look a little nervous around the big waves, I wonder why...


Oh.


After we kayaked and played "hit the dead catfish with a rock for 1000 points" Poe pointed out how pretty the sky looked...


And preceded to make everyone get in front of it to take pictures.


Goodness, could they be any sweeter? Makes me sick, son!




The happiest couple of all.


PoeDizzle yet again finds himself sandwiched between two ladies.


We left him and he looks a little upset...


The Matt's carrying the kayak back to the car


Another pretty picture.


The next morning we had to get back pretty early so we took the ferry by our lonesomes. It was a sad thing knowing what awaited me back home (not a damn thing).


One last picture of the beautiful scenery. Ah, I wish I was still there. The moral of this story is, fuck Springfield.
