Cleveland II

We had a great time as a family on our adventure to Cleveland. The boys are great travelers in the car, and Ellie did great too. The trip takes around 5 hours. The way there took more like 6 because of the weather. The roads near Cleveland were really bad, and at more than one point I worried that we would not make it in time for the appointment! But we did, just in time.

The boys were well-behaved in the doctor's office. The appointment took 2.5 hours! But the doctor complimented them on their patience. We were very proud of them, especially after riding 6 hours in the car and no lunch.

After the appointment we headed to the Holiday Inn. It was a really nice place to stay. It was quite empty and the staff was very nice. We had the pool to ourselves the entire time, including the hot tub. In the morning we ate at the hotel restaurant at what turned out to be a free breakfast buffet! We had time in the morning before packing up and leaving to enjoy the pool again. The boys really enjoyed our "vacation."
