We just couldn't help it. Our plan to drive from Cincinnati to northern Michigan would take us through Toledo so we just had to call Sue and text Julie to see if they could join us for dinner since they had not been able to make it to the family reunion. It was...
It's a tradition that dates back to 1973. On September 1st we go out for Steak and Eggs. The tradition started at The Carousel Inn on Reading Road when we were offered a complimentary breakfast and our server suggested the Steak and Eggs. Today we consulted Yelp and...
We enjoyed a quiet day at home today going out only once for a couple of hours at midday. When we got back to Winton the weekend crowd had cleared. As daylight began to fade, we welcomed a couple of cousins to talk around the campfire while the moon rose over Winton...
We discovered The Century Inn today as part of a geocache search at the location of the tollbooth on the old Cincinnati & Hamilton Turnpike. Although we haven't yet uncovered the cache, it was a fine thing to discover a part of Hamilton County history that links...
Unusual for us to have a day in Cincinnati that is not scheduled with family visits but that's just what we experienced today. We took the opportunity to run errands and to savor Cincinnati specialties. Haircut at Great Clips, a new connector ans computer bag at The...
Winton Woods, Site 57! We're back! It's our third stay on this particular site this year. Looking back, we think our first stay at Winton Woods Campground was in August 1990. Hard to believe we've been coming here regularly for twenty-five years! Guess there's a...
Home Tour Video We routed ourselves through Georgetown OH to visit the home of the boy who would later lead Union forces to victory and lead the American people as the 18th President. Hiram Ulysses Grant was known as Ulysses or Lys during his youth. Through a clerical...
We're headed to Winton Woods today where we have reservations for six nights at an electric only site. Since we have a water hookup here at Bayview we think it's prudent to fill the water tank this morning. Besides that it gives us the chance to use our nifty...
This evening we are staying at Bayview Campground near Hillsboro OH near the shore of Rocky Fork Lake. The major event of the evening has been doing the laundry. It's been several days since we've had laundry facilities available so that was a priority when choosing...
On rambles through central Ohio today we drove through Lancaster and saw the William Tecumseh Sherman Museum, the birthplace of not only the Union Army General but his brother John Sherman, a US Senator. We wanted to stop and visit but were unable to find any parking...

Our stop at Long Beach, California aboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 was a historic meeting of two iconic ocean liners. Queen Mary who served from 1936 to 1967 and her namesake, the only ocean liner still in service. We topped that off with a visit to the original Queen Mary, now a floating museum and hotel.
While berthed at San Pedro in the Port of Los Angeles we had the opportunity to visit the USS Iowa BB-61 for a self guided tour.
Our stop in Manzanilla gave us a taste of Old Mexico even as the area is a major container port. We enjoying learning about the production of sea salt, tasting amazing tropical fruits, and even participating in the making of mud bricks.
