My Trip To Ohio

Well, I am not sure if you know, most of you do, but about a week a go my dad called me on my way to work. He informed me that he was in the hospital and needed to a quadruple open heart by-pass surgery. My mom and I flew out immediately to Ohio (mind you 18 years a go he had the same surgery, not quadruple though). My mom and I spent about a week in Toledo Ohio (my mom about 2 weeks). We had a very interesting time. It was a lot of fun actually, loads of laughs, a lot of time spent in the hospital watching Clint Eastwood movies and reminiscing, but all and all was an unexpected great trip. My Dad is doing much better, he has been back at his home for the past 2 weeks. He lives in a great part of downtown Toledo, I know what could be so great about it. The street he lives on almost reminds me of a smaller pace New York city street. Cute antique shops, farmers market, pizza joints, coffee shops, bars and a stable for the police horses! We made friends with the captain of the police, who let us pet and play with the horses. Even though the trip was serious, we ended up making lots of friends (people are so friendly back there), and realizing how much it sucks to fly standby. My mom (and dad as you all know) have worked for the airlines for about 38 plus years. We spent most of our time in stuck in Chicago. My social butterfly mom ran into all of her little friends, had many cups of Starbucks and not to mention ran into a little bunny rabbit outside of our hotel while running to the airport to try to get on yet another flight..Was that rabbit the white rabbit or what? The Alice's were in Wonderland for sure.
