Impressive Ohio - A Long Day On The Road
Day One, Friday, July 20: We found ourselves departing at 9:45am Friday morning after a jaunt to Krispy Kreme Donuts for breakfast using Garrett and Alexandra's report card for FREE donuts! I love our smart kids! We returned to our house to pick up Beth's pillow -- so far that was the only thing (except Alex's underwear) that we think we left behind. Highway construction on the Illinois side of the bridge and in Indianapolis caused minor delays but nothing too stressful. We stopped at Rest Areas to have lunch as we entered Indiana. We did the same for dinner just outside of Columbus, OH, at a very nice Rest Area. The weather was spectacular!
Ohio was impressive to drive through. Beautiful farmland and farms. Highways were nice and gas prices were even better -- too bad I filled up in Indiana.
We arrived in Cleveland around 8:30pm and were quickly introduced to the industrial district and their RnR radio stations. We located the hotel - next to the AT&T building, right on Lake Erie, and within walking distance of the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. We watched the sunset - beautiful! We settled into the room and got ready to shut down for another day -- this time ... more fun ... less road time.
Slug Bug Winner of the Day: Dad. Souvenirs: postcards, shot glasses, and a coolie cup from Indiana and Ohio. Got a bumper sticker for Marcie: "Dog Is My Co-Pilot"

We did nearly the same trip just 2 weeks earlier. Started in California and flew to Louisville. We did see the bat factory and the glass factory next door. Great tours. It was the best trip ever for all of us.

This was fun and I have traveled to Ohio and I visited the Toledo Zoo which is a great time fulfilling event for the children and they can enjoy iced lemonade or ice cream on a hot summer day. :)
