Concord, to Cleveland Heights, Ohio

Day 12

Tim ended up tweaking his back this morning at work and came back early to rest and recover. Again he made a very large and generous donation to our meal funds. We took breakfast at a cafe in Chardon. The meal was filling but not too special, especially the deep fried french toast. The wait staff was also slightly less intriguing than Ohio's mountainous region.

After catching up on a few hours of laundry, we hit the road and drove the 45 minutes south to Papa and Sally's (Kirby's grandparents). Their apaapartment's amazing and feels more like staying at a 5 star hotel. Even though Papa's health isn't at 100% his spirits are up and he hasn't lost an ounce of spunk. Sally's an amazing help to him and seeing her is quite motivating. Our youth seems to energize their day and they've taken an immediate liking to Liv.

After dinner we walked through the neighborhoods, gawking at the large Tutor houses. After seeing a few house designs repeated, we realized it's just a cookie cutter housing development with taste and some antiquity. Regardless, it's a nice area.
