Toledo Ohio

When we arrived in Toledo I really didn't think much of it at all. Everything seemed shut and closed down with not much happening at all. I thought it was going to be one of those cities that pass by with very little to report. Luckily we have not had many of those on this adventure.

Just when I thought there was no hope we discovered the Toledo Museum of Art. It was a 20-30 minute walk from the Arena which we did in the rain, but it was worth the walk. The actual art museum was pretty nice (and had yummy food) and was free.




The highlight for me and Willow however was across the road. Still part of the museum but dedicated to the art of glass, set in a pavilion of glass where all the pieces were glass or glass related was really nice. The best bit though was the glass blowing demonstrations in the hot shop, that Willow loved so much she wanted to watch all day.



We found more art in the form of sculptures along the river.



Toledo also has a children's museum called the Imagination station that we thought was closed the whole time we were here but we got it wrong and it wasn't which is a shame as it looked pretty good.



We also went to the Frog museum that was right next to the arena. It is run by a really sweet lady who has a seriously big collection of frogs from toys and games to clocks and teapots.

So Toledo didn't make a big impression but we still had a nice time.
