We have been guests of friends Pam and John and their offspring for the past few days. It’s been wonderful being in the middle of family activities while we have taken care of some personal business in St Petersburg. We’ve enjoyed time with John and with Pam while she is still on maternity leave, snuggled Jack, done craft activities with Sam, played Barbies with Alex. Now it’s time for the drive back to our home in the mountains.
 
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.
