Easter in Perrysburg

Perrysburg, Ohio is a beautiful suburb of Toledo and new home to Kali, Bill and family. It's also the home of Fort Meigs, a historic site from the war of 1812.

Downtown Perrysburg retains a remarkably healthy downtown with lots of small town charm.

Commodore Perry points the way to the Maumee River at the head of old Main Street.

We watched a jeweler at work in his storefront window.

Old Fort Miegs has been restored and is only a short bike ride from Kali and Bill's new home.

We toured the fort in beautiful spring weather. The man-made berms in the fort's interior were to stop British cannon balls from rolling through the tent city that housed most of the troops.

Both Josh and Sam had school projects they had completed on display in the Fort's museum.

Several important battles of the war of 1812 were fought in and around the fort. The Indian leader Tecumseh, was one of the Indian leaders who fought with the British.

Liam suddenly realizes that the birthday cake, placed just out of reach, was for him. Grace graciously extinguished the candle for Liam.

Josh left his new Perrysburg home for a few days in Minnesota with Grandpa and Grandma.
