Cleveland & Easter with Grandson

I worked in downtown Cleveland last week (being trained by a great team).  During the evening I walked all over downtown.  What a beautiful downtown.  I walked through the Arcade, Tower, Civic and Entertainment districts.  Walked down to Brown Stadium and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  My hotel was about a mile from Lake Erie.  Brown Stadium and the Rock sit right on Lake Erie.  It was beautiful.

Naturally I went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and thoroughly enjoyed myself.  I was so much fun to hear the music, see the outfits (I particularly like seeing all of Stevie Nicks outfits) and the Bruce Springsteen's exhibit was wonderful.  All his memorabilia caused me to feel like I knew him personally and that I walked those roads with him.  It was great.


I am always intrigued with the architecture of downtown.  Cleveland's old buildings mixed in with new was appealing.

Lake Erie like any body of water is mesmerizing and although I am a mountain girl, I am still drawn to bodies of water.
During my explorations of Cleveland I found The Worlds Largest Rubber Stamp 


 
Borrowing from the website:
"The rationale behind the word 'free' relates to its original proposed position in front of the BP Building, just across from the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Monument, which, upright, it roughly resembled in shape. The word free has several meanings but the main one in this case, was designed to parallel the freedom of slaves but also -- because the stamp pressed down on the word free -- that many today still are not free."

I haven't wrote on my blog for awhile but my grandson was home for Easter and played with my neighbors girl who is one month younger.  They had a great time and Eli thought Emmi was such a cutie.  

He checked email for Emmi as she whispers her password to him.  Eli is just like his parents always on his laptop (got to be like dad)


And that cutie boy had his first bath in the big bath tub instead of the sink.


Anyhow back to my routine this week, it is good to be home, although I had a great time traveling.
