That Face
I'm starting to feel a little bad for those of you out there who follow us to hear about the museums and fun history sites we visit. Our tour with the Library of Congress is so busy right now that there is little time to do fun stuff like that. Do not fear my followers... Continue Reading →

Leaves!!!
We went for a hike today, before watching the Bears win, in Cuyahoga National Park. We have run into issues with bringing dogs to National Parks but this one was full of them. We met so many folks out for a stroll. There were a few goals for this trip, to get some fall shots... Continue Reading →
