Thank you, Brian and Alexis, for organizing this family gathering in the the Day Room. It was good to get the local and the out of town family together to get hugs, sit down together for a meal, and to listen to one another’s tales of adventures. Soon many of us will be heading to our respective homes but it’s been a blessing to be together these several days!
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.
What a wonderful time together!
It was so nice to have a gathering with Dad feeling better and being able to sit up and take nourishment! Thanks Brian and Alexis for organizing snd feeding us all a delicios lunch!
Hugs to all
