For most of the thirty-five years that we have lived with our beautiful Old Tavern Pine bedroom set, there has been a bumper sticker on the mirror. That sticker now has new meaning. We’d both rather be in North Carolina than keep our treasured furniture since it won’t fit in our house in the mountains. We’ve found a furniture consigner who in interested in helping us find a buyer. Perhaps it will become some other family’s heirlooms.
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.
