Round on the Ends, High in the Middle

Last week, we packed up everything we owned and made a trip to Ohio.  Both sides of my family are from Ohio and most of them are still there.  Most of them had not met Myra Grace, so we decided a visit was in order. 

We split our time between Canton and Cardington.  I think we saw everyone we had intended to see and we had a great time overall.  Traveling that far (9hours) with a toddler is difficult, so we made adjustments to counter and obstacles an 11 month old could create.  On the trip to Ohio, we split the trip into 2 easy installments with an overnight stay in Charleston, West Virginia.  That made the trip up a snap, since MG slept at least 6 of those 9 hours.  The return trip was a late night affair going from 5:30pm to 2:30am.  Exhausting, but worth it.  Few stops for food and bathroom breaks, so the trip went much quicker.

Things I learned on my trip:
-Swenson's reigns supreme on my best burgers list.  I recommend the Galley Boy.
-It is always nice to meet a Star Wars Podcaster
-In the battle between a coffee table and an 11 month old, always bet on the coffee table.
-The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are capable of losing any game they play for a multitude of reasons.
-Never underestimate the creativity of physical education teachers with a lot of people and a lot of land.
