Tell your wife, at least through Cleveland, she'll be alright. The closer to the lake you are, the nicer it is. Some beautiful homes along the lake too. The Shoreway (rt 2) along the coast here has some great views of the city and the lake. Plus you'll see the yacht club that I sail out of right after you get out of the downtown area going west.

We drove that a couple of years ago that is why we want to do it again. Any idea how long to drive fr Erie to there? Just having breakfast then headed in your direction.

A couple hours. There's this wonderful thing called google Maps that will give you more accurate info . Of course, if you are hugging the lake, that might add another half hour at least. Nice day for traveling, though.

I counted twins on my way to work this morning and saw 4. Are they really so rare everywhere else?

Also a gps thingy in the car but that doesn't help sitting in Bob Evans (the restaurant not the guy)

No, it was Atlanta->Charlotte->Cincinnati->Cleveland->Sandusky->Charlotte->Atlanta.

Like @Tcoat I usually prefer to take backroads on these trips but in this case because of the compressed timeline we didn't have that luxury.

Around Atlanta I do see them more than I did in the past. I now see a half-dozen or so each week, but most of them are repeats (folks going the opposite way from me on their commute).

Tried to meet up with Hunter but wife took to long in the mall in Erie. I still suspect that there are no such people or cars and I have simply been hallucinating all this time.

It was absolutely awful when the Hawk family drove through there a couple of weeks back to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was horrible at 11am Thursday, and even worse at 6pm when we left. That said it was the harbor area which looks like one of those perpetually in construction areas every town has.
