Up early after bad night sleep after big storm and nosy air conditioner and road noise from the nearby interstate. It was much cooler today after the big storm last night. We had breakfast provided and were away pretty early today. Just before we left I took a photo of these beautiful blue spruce trees native to this part of the world. Not long and a squirrel was seen running up the tree (they are so cute). We have seen these trees everywhere on the drive so far. Once we left about 45 minutes south on US Highway 223 and we crossed the border into the state of Ohio (USA State number 36). I played the song called Ohio by Damien Jurano which is an awesome tune. About 15 minutes further and we arrived in Toledo. ... read more

The weather forecast this morning for both Columbus and Cleveland was bright and sunny with no chance of rain. There also wasn't any wind. Temperatures started at a cool 77 degrees and rose to a balmy 84. It was the perfect day to ride. And after a quick breakfast in Columbus that's just what we did. I set the Garmin to avoid highways, and for the almost 4 hour ride from Columbus to Cleveland, it was just 2 lane country roads all the way. Small town after small town passed by with very little traffic along the way. After yesterdays 4-lane highways and grooved pavement interstates, it was just the relaxing ride we needed. We're planning on spending 2 nights in Cleveland, and our hotel is withing walking distance of the Rock 'N Roll Hall of ... read more

I was born in Ohio and lived there the first 25 years of my life. In all that time, I never made it to the art museum. This was my very first visit. We wanted to do something in Cleveland on a weekday afternoon, and we chose the art museum because it was free. FREE! That is an enticing factor when you are traveling with four kids. I have never been much of an art connoisseur, so I really wasn't expecting a whole lot. We simply piled in the van and headed downtown. The first thing we saw was the giant atrium area. Apparently brand new, it was really beautiful. We marveled at it for a short while, then explored the very nice museum gift shop. Then we began our journey through the world of art. ... read more

If you happen to drop in to Cleveland, OH with children of any age...you should visit the Great Lake Science Center. The first floor has great displays and interactive things to do pertaining to NASA. The subject of outer space usually only appeals to me if a new discovery is made or if it involves aliens. However, this Science Center had my full attention through out the whole center. I can not explain how much fun it is, even for adults! The weekend we visited their was a special exhibit dedicated to the show Myth Busters, that would have costs extra than the regular admission price. The location is right next to the Museum of Rock and Roll. You would be able to do both if you wanted to without having to park your vehicle twice. ... read more
