Cleveland/Niagara 2000 Album
Overview:
With Sonia away in Hawaii and swim season finished, Catherine and I set out on a trip of our own. After we put the cat (Callie) away [I mean, took Callie to the kennel] we were free to go. We left early on a Monday morning, missing most of the Philly traffic. Then it was a nice long drive along the PA turnpike. We stopped at the first rest stop in Ohio and had a real treat -- cheap gas!!

Aunt Anne was glad to see us. Catherine really like the way Anne said what was on her mind.
We stayed with my sister Jean. Got the meet the newest member of the family, Orion. Orion was at that time a six-month old puppy, weighing in at 50 pounds. Taking Orion for a walk is definitely a way to get your exercise.
We also met Bob, a friend of Pat's.

Catherine and I drove to the old neighbor so I could show her the house I grew up in. I was about 8 years old when I helped my Dad plant this oak tree!
My Uncle Steve lives in an assisted care facility, but stays very active. Steve lived on a farm most of his life and keeps busy looking after his two pigs and tending a garden.
Niagara Falls overviews
Catherine had several reasons for wanting to go to Niagara Falls, but I think the biggest one was the opportunity to spend a night in a 'foreign' country. She had done a lot of research on the Internet on the various attractions and places to stay. It had been 15 years since Sonia, I and the boys have visited, so my memory of things was a bit fuzzy.
