No visit to Cincinnati, with the myriad of relatives that we have on both sides, is complete without a visit with Uncle Neil and Aunt Vi. We enjoyed a lunch with them at Bob Evans then a home baked dessert and coffee back at their apartment then regaled them with tales from the road and listened with interest to their family stories of then and now. Later in the day we managed to get some Graeter’s Ice Cream and in the evening enjoyed a Frisch’s meal with Cousin Mary and her friend.
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.
