It’s a house party! Cathy, Matt, and Em arrived Saturday and Susan arrived Sunday. Today we went exploring along our favorite one way auto trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. Susan enjoyed the view from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Emily tested the temperature of the water in the mountain stream, and Matt checked out the view from the edge of the bridge!
 
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.
