Tuesday - August 29

 Beautiful day here in Ohio and thoughts are with the folks in FL as Idalia comes roaring up the Gulf Coast.    Just 11 months ago yesterday Ian hit our Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel area... 

Mark got Big Red organized and bins put back in after the bikes were attached to Flo for travel.    I did some organizing on Flo and soon we'll start the transfer of our stuff.

Lunch and then left at 1:20 for Cleveland.   We're meeting Michael for dinner as he's flying in this afternoon for business.   We're spending the night.

Stopped at Target in Amherst for a few things and arrived at our hotel around 3.  We picked Michael up at the airport, dropped him off at his hotel and later met up and walked together to The Marble Room for fabulous dinner.    This place dates back as the National Bank to 1896 and in 2017, was transformed into this fabulous restaurant "Marble Room".   Highly recommend it if you're in Cleveland. 

Ready for some fine dining

For special occasions (55th anniversary of our engagement - almost 25 years for Michael and Brooke but missing Brooke), they do this lit up cotton candy!!!

We had such a good visit with Michael and the Marble Room was totally WOW!    Said our good byes and Mark and I walked down to the water (by the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame) and where we were with Catrina in July and then back to hotel.

Such a fun evening with Michael

Philip, Annette and kiddos are on a little getaway (Dollywood and Pigeon Forge) before school starts....
