Cleveland Rocks!

One of Cole's Christmas presents was a Rush concert ticket. The concert was on Friday, April 15th in Cleveland. Since it was the kids' spring break week from school, we decided to take the whole family to Cleveland for a couple of days of fun. We left on Thursday. After having lunch in Columbus, we stopped and took a factory tour at Anthony Thomas Candy Company. It was neat to see all that chocolate being made. After the tour, we hit the road to Cleveland. After checking in at our hotel (Embassy Suites in Independence-less than 10 miles from downtown), the kids wanted to hit the pool immediately. We took a break from swimming to go out for pizza and then spent the rest of the evening in the pool. Friday was jam packed. We began the day visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Afterward, we went to the Great Lakes Science Center, which is right next door. We picked up some dinner and ate at the hotel. Steve and Cole left for the concert. The rest of the kids and I spent the evening swimming and watching a movie. We left plans for Saturday open. We had possible thoughts of visiting the Cleveland Zoo. When we woke up to cool temperatures, rain and high winds, we decided to just head home. It was a quick trip but nice to get away for a few days of family fun.
