Made the drive from Canton to Cincinnati and got ourselves a site at the newly renovated Winton Woods Campground. Then to Hyde Park and Panera for a light repast and visit with Cousin Rose. After that we visited with Aunt Mary and joined her for burgers and beer at the Mt Lookout landmark Zip’s Cafe. Yum!
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
It was fifty years ago next month that the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy. Today we had the distinct privilege of visiting some of the places important in that offensive which ultimately led the Allied victory in the Second World War.
