One More National Park

Well, we are not done with National Parks this year! After visiting our friends near Cleveland, we drove east and south to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It's a beautiful river valley that has a train that runs through it. We didn't get to ride that train, but we did see it roll by.

There is a pretty falls called Brandywine Falls. We took a walk to view the falls from several angles. It was Maria's suggestion that we visit the falls and we really enjoyed it. It reminded Bob of Old Man's Cave in Hocking County.

Earlier in the weekend we visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and saw the United States Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron -- the Blue Angels! at the Cleveland Air Show. It's the third time that Maria and I have seen them this year! Its the fourth location that Bob has seen them - Dayton, Cleveland, Houston (Pasadena, Tx) and the first time in Pensacola, Fla.

We watched from the pier just outside the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We were going to watch from the water on our friend's boat, but Lake Erie was very choppy. The waves were crashing into the breakwall. We missed a great potential picture. The Number 5 and 6 planes take off together and the number 6 stays low and then "Goes Ballistic" (as Goose says in TopGun.). When #6 came off the runway, he was just beyond the pier we were on. That could have been a great picture. We came home Sunday... the wind died down and the sky was clear. We could have gone out on the boat and then seen the "high" show.
