Summer is winding down
It has been an interesting summer to say the least . . . It was here and is just about gone already--time sure flies.
Took a trip the the National Museum of the Great Lakes that is here in Toledo--near the Veteran's Memorial Skyway Bridge--that was an interesting day trip--we toured the museum and the cargo ship that is docked there.
Here is my mom and I setting at the sign in front of the National Museum of the Great Lakes.
The museum has many artifacts from the Great Lakes it is so interesting to walk through there looking at all the displays of the various artifacts pertaining all to the Great Lakes--there is even a display from the wreck of the Fitzgerald. Another display shows each of the great lakes (a view of them on a scale model without the water, which has the depths of each of the great lakes). There is a lighthouse display of the lighthouses along the great lakes--it was a very interesting trip, I did not know as much as I thought I did about our Great Lakes--I would go back again. The museum opened in April of 2014 so it is a new attraction to Toledo.
Here is my brother, Mark and I walking on the deck of the cargo ship docked at the National Museum of the Great Lakes--the Veteran's Memorial Skyway in the background.
We attended the fireworks display the City of Toledo puts on each year downtown at Promenade Park, which is right by the Fifth/Third Building and Imagination Station--that was the most awesome fireworks display I have seen in years and I really enjoyed it.
We have not had that many 90 Degree days this summer like we have had in the past--it has been cooler this summer and we have had many 80+ Degree days with the humidity being up there. I know there is less than a month left of summer before we begin autumn, it has just went so fast this year as it has every year.
Most of the schools in the area are back in session--some will be after Labor Day--like I said summer has just flew by, wow!
I still would like to go to the Titanic Exhibit at Imagination Station, but I do not know if I will make it before it ends on September 21st--I hope so, I would like to see that, I think it would be interesting.
