Toledo

Doug and I left yesterday once he got off work to start our Midwest summer vacation. We didn’t quite get as far as we had hoped as there was a lot of traffic and rain south of Atlanta. We did make it to Tennessee, however, and this afternoon pulled into the University of Toledo parking lot around 4 PM. We were very happy to see Cameron, and he definitely seemed happy to see the both of us as well. The three of us spent the rest of the afternoon and evening catching up on the past few months, buying a few supplies for Cameron‘s apartment, meeting his roommate, touring his dorm and checking out downtown Toledo.  I was impressed by how well Cameron had adjusted to internship life in such a short time and by how many people he already knew. 

Cameron picked the Maumee River Brewing Company for dinner, which was walkable from our hotel. On the way, we passed by Owens Corning.  I loved that it was situation right in the middle of all of the downtown action.  The food and the drinks at the brewery were fantastic. Klinger's beloved Toledo Mudhens were playing just across the street from our hotel and our room had the perfect view of the game. We watched a few innings from our hotel and then walked around the stadium to check out the action. There were also a few microbreweries for us to try, and we ended our evening in the hotel bar with a snack before Cameron headed back to his apartment. I couldn’t believe all that there was to do in downtown Toledo and sharing that with Cameron made it even more special. We have one more day to explore in the Glass City and I can’t wait to see what we find.
