In Cleveland!

[bjarvis]

We arrived in the early evening after a long drive from DC.

The trip itself was largely uneventful. We paused at the outlet malls in Hagerstown, MD, to purchase a replacement suitcase since my current one won't survive the trip to Seattle later this month. Once we were there, however, we were sucked into various stores by unusually intense gravity wells pulling on our wallets. We got a second replacement suitcase, I bought two pairs of shoes, kent4str bought a weed wacker (among other items) and we got some pesto for cuyahogarvr. So much for having our credit cards entirely paid off.

Once we arrived in Cleveland, we unloaded our luggage at cuyahogarvr's apartment, then headed over to the dance hall to help with decorating. Brian, Mark, Nick, apparentparadox and others were largely done but we helped with a few details here and there. Photos to follow.

Around 9:30 PM, we finally headed out for a late dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Lakewood. Now I'm catching up on LJ, e-mail and heading for bed.

My father was born and raised in Hagerstown. My family visited a couple of times in my early youth, then I visited my grandmother and step-aunt in 1978 on the eve of my divorce. Since then, total loss of being in touch with that side of my family.

Always wanted to explore there more...apparently the place is thick with Eylers.
