1...2...3 SPIT!

The High Level Bridge in Toledo, Ohio can create very memorable moments. I have driven over the High Level Bridge hundreds of times but until you walk across it's a totally different experience. I have lived in and around Toledo my entire life and I can now say that the High Level Bridge is quite the adventure.
I was hanging out with my two youngest children whom were of course...bored. So of course to them it is my job as a parent to entertain them. On this particular day I really came through with some fun.
I decided I was going to take them on a walk across the High Level Bridge. When I told them about my idea you would have thought I just earned the mother of the year award.
We parked at Andrus Hardware just on the east side of the bridge, which happens to be a great hardware store that has not been taken over by the big guys, whom I will not mention. So I parked the car, they were so excited. Before we got out of the car we went over the rules. No running, stay by me, be careful, and we can only spit over the side of the bridge when we reach the center. Like spitting over the side was the trophy moment of accomplishment for little kids.
So there we were at the base of the high level bridge just about to begin our accent. Cars were rushing by but we new we were safe, people cross the bridge by foot everyday. It was so neat to watch them as they got closer and closer to the center. The view from above was so cool. They were so excited and couldn't wait to get to the middle so they could spit over the side.
After some time of climbing, we finally made it to the center. On the count of three...1...2...3 SPIT! We did it! One of the most memorable moments we have had in Toledo, making it to the center of the High Level Bridge and spitting over the side. How cool is that!~Pamela Renee Schneider
