From Minnehaha Falls to the Niagara Falls

So the flow of water is a little different and you don’t have to pay to see ours at home☺

We walked the Cave of the Winds trail, Gabriel is still wearing the complimentary sandals they gave us to stay dry. The trail was like a walking waterpark. We were all drenched after completion but loved every minute. In fact we walked the trail more than once because getting splashed by the falls was so fun.

I didn’t like getting wet because it made me cold. I liked eating ice cream instead. ~ Cecilia

By the way, whose idea were the drumsticks? Gabriel is an aspiring drummer yet his sister doesn’t appreciate his practice tactics, especially as we traverse the state of New York.

Cleveland ROCKS!

After a fun few days of E. Lansing hanging with friends and visiting the home of the Spartan’s we said a sad farewell.


Unbeknownst to us the Blue Angels were performing at an air show on Lake Erie. We enjoyed the beautiful day along the lake and were awed by the show of Top Gun pilots. We saw a variety of nerve racking maneuvers and stunts that got us on our feet cheering. On one pass a pilot flew so low we saw him in his cockpit!

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was awesome! John Lennon’s Yamaha piano, not a grand piano, was an inspiration to me. Michael Jackson’s glove from “Billie Jean” was too sparkly. Seeing the timeline of music and the inductee movie was cool.

Different artists were inspired by different genres of music. The different styles of music gave them ideas for their own music. For example, a Rock and Roll band inspired Madonna. A new favorite hard rock song is “Enter Sandman” by Metallica.

I bought a t-shirt that say’s “If it’s too loud then you are too old” ~ Sabrina

I liked Elvis Presley’s guitar and jacket. Pete Townsend’s guitar was awesome. It was very fancy with designs. I liked Michael Jackson’s suit from Thriller, the mask and ripped jacket. ZZ Tops drum set were very furry and white. It was one of my favorite instruments that I saw.

I liked watching the movie of the Rock and Roll musicians and I knew some of the songs.

I bought a pair of super cool drumsticks. ~ Gabriel

I liked seeing the Blue Angels and all of their tricks in the sky.

At the museum I liked seeing Madonna’s dresses, especially the sparkly ones. I liked seeing the Beatles stuff, where they went and all of the pictures. I also liked seeing the Hall of Fame Inductees, especially the ones from the year I was born, Simon & Garfunkel who sing “Cecilia”.

I bought a pin to put on my Girl Scout vest that says “Peace, Love and Rock & Roll” Next time I want to see the Jonas
Brothers~ Cecilia

Jonas Brothers tour the Rock Hall

We look forward to Niagra Falls!

NYC or Bust!

We've had multiple requests to re-start the blog so here it goes, our next big adventure.

Our New Year's tradition is to give the kids a map and have them pick our next destination. After much discussion and some negotiating they decided on New York.

We begin our 3 week adventure with a visit to our special friends, and Packer fans, the Carlson's in E. Lansing, MI.


We've been searching for favorites in NY and have been given a few suggestions:
