Back in Ohio!

Well it's been awhile, I still have some California and Chicago to catch up on, but I figured I would write today as I sit and drink my coffee and the house is stirring with activity for the holiday meal.

I'm back in Brunswick, Ohio, which is near Cleveland, Ohio.  I've been home for about a week and I'm having a fabulous time.  We're on a 2 week layoff from tour.  We just finished two weeks in Chicago, and I will return to Charlotte, North Carolina.

The week has been filled with dancing, friends, family, and cooking!

Today, I'm writing about my fabulous Saturday I had yesterday.

I went with my friend, CW, to the Cleveland Natural History Museum.  We saw dinosaur bones, and live animals, and lots of artifacts from Native American tribes, African cultures, etc.  There was also a special exhibit on mating and sex throughout the animal kingdom.  It was very interesting.  We also saw one of my favorite things to see, Balto the sled Dog (stuffed of course)  I was doing a little research and found out that it really is Balto!  (I loved that movie as a kid) 






Like I said, I saw live animals too which was quite a pleasant surprise.  They had owls, deers, foxes, a bald eagle, bobcats, vultures, and my absolute favorite, a very active River Otter!  I watched the Otter for a long long time. =)




Afterwards I took a few pictures by a beautiful lake setting behind the Cleveland Museum of Art.




Then  I returned home, did a few errands, had a few ciders in my parents new back porch and started the evening.  My Mother and I colored eggs together and I made carrot cake cupcakes.  

It was a fun filled Saturday in Ohio!
