On the Road to Ohio

Bright and early on Monday morning we set Garmin for Mentor, Ohio to see Dan's brother, his wife and our niece and nephew. It was a pleasant drive of 6+ hours. Of course we listened to more of our Book on CD. The weather was better than expected with not a drop of rain the entire time. It was overcast, but that made the colors that much more vibrant.

The highway was full of color-ranging from yellow to red and every possible color in between. Scattered amongst the deciduous trees were a variety of pines which, of course, are keeping their deep green hugh. The contrast is fantastic and my little 3.2 mega pixel camera -through the windshield-does no justice to what we were seeing. The mapel trees are just so gorgeous. Once we arrived it did start to sprinkle a bit, but by then we didn't really care. Patty had a teriffic meal ready and the "catch-up" chatter began!
