Over Spring break we decided to do something that we hadn't done in quite a while. That was go away for a few days without the kids. Since Aaron has his own schedule and can take care of himself all that was needed was to find a place for Rachel for a few days and that was easily done. I decided on that most popular of vacation destinations....Cleveland! Not too far of a drive and surprisingly quite a few things to do.
We drove into Ohio and spent the evening at this cozy little cabin. The next day we headed up toward Cleveland through Amish country. The scenery with the hills and Amish farms was beautiful. I would like to go back in the summer...it would be gorgeous!
First stop was in Canton at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Fun exhibits and a neat display of all the Super Bowl rings (which seemed to get larger and more obnoxious by the year).
The next day we headed into downtown Cleveland to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The weather was quite foggy and I was hoping that it we be clearer after we got done at the HOF.
It was undergoing some renovations with next exhibit areas to open in the summer, but there was still plenty to see.
The world's most famous sparkly glove!
We left the hall of fame and the weather hadn't got any better. Here's our lovely view of Lake Erie!
So we decided to head somewhere indoors and headed to the Cleveland Art Museum. By the time we got there sunlight was streaming through the atrium. My sense of timing is fabulous! This place was huge! We didn't go through every exhibit, but we did give ourselves enough time to contemplate Picasso!
This is from inside and Egyptian sarcophagus...it always fascinates me to see stuff that was already over 2,000 years old when Jesus was born!
We decided to try downtown again and this time our view had improved!
So Cleveland....you were a nice surprise! Thanks for the fun memories!
