| May 4th, 2008: What a glorious morning. |
|
Here's a great morning shot out the window while Daddy has the kids dog-pile on Papa to get him out of bed. Time to go, so you gotta' get up. |
| I'm a baseball girl and I'm ready to get out and play. Not quite ready to walk, but I think I can catch a ball. |
|
|
Okay well, maybe it's a hat. |
| Christopher got hold of Sophia's glasses. I'm not sure if Sarah is jealous or confused. |
|
|
Christopher helps at the dump-station. He wants to help "get the poop out". |
| This is such a pretty little fishing lake. Folks have been catching crappe all weekend. |
|
|
Hiking trail? |
| One last shot, just before we left. |
|
|
Now we're back on I-80 and headed to Pennsylvania and New York. |
| Daddy's driving today. |
|
|
Nice scenery and good road make for a pleasant trip out of Ohio. |
| Ohio farmland. |
|
|
... and farm. |
| Rolling hills. |
|
|
Such a princess. |
| It is not okay to throw your cup down, please hand it to me when you're finished. |
|
|
Daddy was ready to set up shop in this greenhouse. |
| A cemetery. |
|
|
Pretty, eh? |
| North Kingsville water tower. |
|
|
We decided that the small state highways were more interesting, but the road is not quite as good. |
| Cute little homes. |
|
|
Unique architecture. I like it, but I do not know if I would want to live in it. |
| More cemetery. |
|
|
I think this one is full and folks are dying to get in here. |
| Papa nearly chewed his arm off wanting to stop for some ice cream. |
|
|
Cool architecture. |
| They're starting to bloom all over the place. |
|
|
. |
| Cool church. |
|
|
Sad to see this one in such disrepair. |
| I wish we'd gotten a better angle on this bridge. It was beautiful. |
|
|
. |
| . |
|
|
Imagine Daddy drooling. |
| . |
|
|
Welcome to Transylvania, uh Pennsylvania. The roads went from okay to not so good. |
| . |
|
|
Christopher was wanting a movie, but couldn't hold out to watch it through. |
| Sophia and Sarah took the time to learn their letters. Sophie is getting pretty good a mimicking the sounds. She may have her letters down before we return. Probably not, but wouldn't that be cool? |
|
|
. |
| Another cool Church. |
|
|
This bridge looks "small" for us. |
| Christopher was very excited to see "two" cranes fixing this bridge. It turned out that there were a couple more when we got close. |
|
|
A retired jet in a cemetery. Hmmm. |
| . |
|
|
Waking. |
| Eating. |
|
|
Lake Erie from Hwy-5 in Pennsylvania. |
| And into New York we go. Cool State sign. |
|
|
The first odd thing we noticed was that they were growing grapes here. Who'd have thought that they wouldn't die with the frost. |
| The roads immediately got better. The fuel prices immediately dropped by nearly 25 cents per gallon. If we were to fill the tank, that's a $20 bill. |
|
|
Cool silos. |
| I've forgotten the name of this little town, but they had American flags lining the street. Christopher noticed them and was very excited about it. |
|
|
Failed attempt at getting the church. |
| . |
|
|
Cool architecture. |
| A memorial park dedicated to our veterans. This was done with class. |
|
|
The memorial. |
| I haven't heard it said better. |
|
|
... with the flag. |
| A quiet park for reflecting. |
|
|
There were beautiful churches on each side of the park. |
| . |
|
|
. |
| And the information center. |
|
|
Another church. |
| . |
|
|
The library is across the street. |
| Some cool art for the library. |
|
|
The Welch's building. |
| Who'd have thought. |
|
|
This one's for you, Taylor. |
