After a peaceful night in Syracuse we shuffled off toward Buffalo. Easy ride on 90 west, and Zac took a good nap while Adam read and watched the scenery, and I emailed, twittered, facebooked and tried to blog on my blackberry. This social networking thing is very time-consuming, but it kept me busy while Paul drove. I managed to also read the AAA map and keep us going the right way. We finally pulled the Tom Tom GPS out of the glove box and used to it find Lake Erie State Park in New York, close to the Pennsylvania state line.
The park was glorious. Clean bathrooms, walking paths and picnic tables with views of the lake. A big jungle gym, a beach. It was just what we needed right then and there. It cost $6 to enter, money well spent. There was barely anyone there, as expected on a Monday I guess. The boys ran across the manicured grass to the jungle gym. We played a while and ate and played some more. Paul and the boys took a walk along the lake shore while I checked email and put the food stuff away.
We had to convince the boys to get back in the car, but once in everything was fine. We made it to Cleveland without a hitch. We stopped just before the city to have dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Zac and Adam ate their ribs like boys with St. Louis roots!
They were over tired and wound up when we settled into the hotel, but now they are quiet in their beds and all is right. Paul is watching the Cleveland vs. Milwaukee game on the large screen in the lobby.
