An Afternoon Outing


Mom and Dad wanted to go on an outing this afternoon. Dad has been wanting to go to the Cleveland Museum of National History for years. Today was a perfect day to make that trip. Mom had a bit more energy, even though her legs were really aching. So, we ventured to University Circle and the museum. Mom would wander in room and then found a bench to wait for Dad and I to see the exhibits. Then we would go to the next room and repeat the process. I hadn't been to the Museum in at least 10 years, so it was nice to wander around seeing the dinosaurs, gems and minerals and animals. After the museum, we took a tour of Lakeview Cemetery. Yes, it does sound morbid, but I was on a mission to find Daffodil Hill. Dad was not so thrilled to be driving around a cemetery in a downpour, but Mom and I thought that it was an adventure! We drove around until we were actually driving by Daffodil Hill! It was much larger than I thought and really pretty, even in a rainstorm! The day was topped off with an early dinner in Little Italy at Trattoria. Yummy! It was a long afternoon out for Mom, but she did very well, especially as this is the time that her blood counts are really low. I'm sure that she will be relaxing tomorrow, though!
