Vacation with my sisters!

In 2002, my sister Pat and I went to Hawaii and we had so much fun, my sister Mary wanted to join us on our next venture. Pat wanted to visit an old Ranger friend that works in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park along the banks of the Cuyahoga River in Ohio.

On Saturday, we arrived at the Hale Farm & Village just before closing time.  We found our Hotel in Kent and Travis came over and lead us to his house.
