Very much enjoyed the hospitality of Karen’s sister Patti and her husband Mark and their furry housemates. Got to spend time with niece Rebecca and her special guy, Will. On Monday evening we had a delightful visit with Karen’s sister, Alice. On Tuesday afternoon we headed north into Oklahoma. Â
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
Please tell me that you three played some cards! And was there any vanilla extract?
It looks like Steve is trying to do a Vulcan Mind Meld with that cat! What an incredible trip you two are on. Hope to see you soon. Kathy
