It's a big birthday this year for my mom - SEVENTY!! My personal theory is aging is WAY better than the alternative!
She decided she wanted to celebrate with her children and grandchildren, so her wish was our command. Unfortunately the Army didn't deem her birthday an event Dominic needed to be at so he was training at USMA instead.
We all gathered in Hudson where the kids as usual enjoyed their time in the woods behind my parents' house. AJ has built a fort back there and with his cousins Nathan and Jack has started adding some smaller forts around it.

Then to celebrate we spent the day in Cleveland. First on the Nautica Queen on a lunchtime cruise and then on Lolly the Trolley for a tour of a revitalized Cleveland.
The cruise around the lake was great and it allowed us to see Cleveland from a different view. Including the new Browns stadium and the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.

Afterwards we hopped on Lolly the Trolley for a two hour tour. There was so much we didn't know about Cleveland and it was exciting to see how hard the city has worked to make it a great place. It was also interesting to hear the history and what a center of industry Cleveland once was.
