An extra day in Ohio


An extra day in Ohio meant that we could visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, much to Ian's delight. 

Then to my delight we went to Middlefield, OH and visited amongst the Amish. 



An Amish quilt for sale in Mary Yoder's Amish Restaurant where we had dinner.  $999. I think it is a bargain. Should I have bought it?
The Oatmeal Pie we bought for dessert at Mary Yoder's Amish Restaurant.  Pretty tasty!
                                   

I loved this sight.

Share the Road.:) So fun.

Right behind this buggy.


I was driving and kept having Jen take photos. I just loved it. 



A photo attempt as we passed this Amish family.


More photo attempts. 

Amish home.

We were so close to these people as we passed them.  Jen was shy about taking photos.  I was laughing at her attempts. 


Case Church in Ashtabula, OH
My ancestor John Case settled in Austinburg, Ashtabula, OH and while there this church was built. In two of the stain glass windows are the names CASE and COWLES.
James Case's son is Solomon Cowles Case, his son is Frederick Aaron Case and his son is my grandfather, Fredrick Earl Case.

Unable to go in, I took this shot outside the window  "CASE"  is on this stainglass.

View of the 4 stain glass windows where CASE and COWLES are.  CASE is on the far left and COWLES on the far right.

PENNSYLVANIA
We passed through Pennsylvania coming to New York. PA is dear to my heart.  My son, Richie, served a faithful mission here. I was texting him as we passed through and saw some of his areas. I wish he could be here with us.  I know he loves it here.


 NIAGARA FALLS
We are here! In New York.  At a hotel right outside Niagara Falls.  Last night in our hotel room we saw fireworks over Niagara.  Awesome!
