I prefer the Summer, but the snow made for a pretty drive today in Cleveland.

WTAM 1100 – Keeping Connected with Your Kids at School
Play Audio – WTAM 1100 Newsradio – Tech Tuesday – September 9th, 2014
The “Back to School” season has been in full swing for a few weeks now. Many parents may be looking for ways to stay in touch to their kids, and Geek Squad has tips to keep connected.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
If you ever want to ride through history, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park has several ways for you to do it. My trip today was via motorcycle, travelling along both sides of the canal. It’s a relaxing ride, perfect for a Sunday. Along the way, there plenty of interesting places to stop, like Brandywine Falls, Hale Farm and Village and a number of national park educational sites.
For those who prefer self-powered transportation, there are a number of Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath that follows the canal’s scenic route. If you didn’t bring your own bicycle, there are places to rent them along the route as well.
Or if a classic train is more your style, check out the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.

The arrival of Memorial Day means that many will be looking forward to warm-weather road trips. Long gone are the days of hard-to-fold paper maps or asking for directions at sketchy gas stations in small town America.
