Detroit to Cleveland to Akron Day 8

Snow, snow, snow, then cold all day long. DB and E have arranged the rental car, and 6 of us pile in. There  are so many bags (DB and THB have brought enuf for 10 days, the others have been on the road far longer and have much bigger bags. That means we have to fold down one of the far back seats and THB and BG snuggle for a few hours. 

E does the driving and about the only issue is waiting for the lights to go off when we arrive at the Courtyard Marriott for the night. THB gets a great night sleep, 9+ hours.
