Sandusky Ohio

Cedar Point Amusement Park Across The Bay A Tame Squirrel In Battery Park A "Small" Size Ice Cream Cone At Toft's Dairy A Trip Down Memory Lane
Tonight we met family for dinner in Sandusky Ohio. Following our dinner, we strolled the pier and docks along Lake Erie. Visible were the roller coasters at Cedar Point Amusement and the lights. We strolled along the lake front of Battery Park. Treating everyone to Tofts Dairy for the best ice cream anywhere ended our evening.

The origin of Toft's Dairy dates back to 1900. The photo of the milk wagon is an authentic delivery wagon from the early years of the business. Several years ago when I was a student nurse, my best friend and I would go to Toft's for an ice cream cone if we scored a 100% on our exams of the day. If we didn't score a 100% we thought we needed a cone for consolation. When we graduated from our nursing program, the two counter servers gave us T-shirts that said, "Where's The Ice Cream". On the back of the shirt, Toft's Dairy was printed.
