We planned a trip to Kirtland and Palmyra and invited my parents to join us. We have wanted to do this trip for a long time and were so excited to do it in the fall. Fall this year wasn't that spectacular but we were hoping it would better up north. We planned every minute of our trip, packed, and bought lots of food, travel games, books and activities for the kids. Our plan was drive to Cleveland (5hrs away) and spend the night there then pick up Ryan from the airport in the morning and then head off to Kirtland by 9 a.m.
We were all happy starting off!
Everyone had books, movies, games, leapsters to play. Grandma Nana did a great job playing with the kids. She definitely was the entertainment of the back seats. She had started telling them the story of Heidi. The kids got really into it and wanted her to keep telling the story but she broke it up into sections. She is a great story teller.
About half way was Columbus, OH. We decided to stop at a park and take a quick break. After following my GPS to a trailer "park", we finally found a real park. It was great! The kids got the wiggles out and we all got to move around some.
We made it to Cleveland around dinner time. We unloaded at the hotel and went out for dinner. The kids were anxious to get in the pool. Unfortunately the pool was so freezing. Even the hot tub was colder than a bath I would take at home. The kids were die-hards though and still got in.
Don't they look like two kids from the 90's with their discmans? I always laugh when I see them rocking out to their discmans.
We all slept well and were ready for our first day of touring the church sites.
