After getting situated at the national park campground, we four piled into our truck and made our way into the heart of historic Hot Springs. First challenge was figuring out where to park! From there we toured one of the historic bathhouses along Bathhouse Row and tried to envision being a part of that scene back in another era. Then proceeded onto dinner at Angels in the Park Featuring Chef Rosario where we enjoyed some great steaks and a wonderful Tiramisu followed by a visit to the lobby of the historic Arlington Hotel and a walk down Central Avenue. A most enjoyable evening in a location that’s been a vacation spot for oh so long!
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.
