Thirty-six years ago tomorrow Mother and Dad celebrated their 24th Wedding Anniversary by marrying off their eldest daughter Karen to Steve. Today we celebrated both anniversaries by renewing our vows at mass at St Anthony of Padua Church, Bud & Cathie’s parish. Then after a final breakfast at the St Charles Inn and a brief visit with Alice & Ken, we hugged everyone and set our sights on Tween Creeks. Arrived home late but happy.
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.
