Cleveland Part 1

Way back on July 22, we went to Ohio. Todd had told me he'd take me somewhere and we had talked about it in the past...I wanted to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Cleveland has an awesome zoo. We decided to stop at a hotel along the way. Except the one Todd had in mind didn't exist anymore and naturally, everything was full. And like ever married couple in that situation, we got into an arguement when our children started to cry. We finally found a place in Cleveland at midnight that had one room available. Ah, but what a place. The Cleveland Marriot, while overprices, was very nice. This was what I saw first thing when I walked in. I thought it was the most beautiful hotel I'd ever been in. The kids were exhausted and Todd and I were drained. Adam started saying he wanted to go "home". Great. But they ended up settling in well and our bed was so comfortable. As you can see, Miss Abbey LOVED playing on it the next morning while Daddy was in the shower. And, as always, she had to get into whatever she could. They slept surprisingly well in their pack n plays. The room was really big and I used the furniture as barricades. Here's Adam making "calls" :) We went to their breakfast buffet in the morning and the food was really good. This is what I saw when I was in the lobby. Tell me this isn't a great picture. The room cost more than we planned, but the whole place was so nice and even had a pool, we've though about "vacationing" at a Marriot for a night in the future. We left and headed for the city of Cleveland.....
