After a trip to Publix to restock CJ’s pantry for the semester and to get a few provisions for our trip, the three of us – Steve, Karen, and Boo – left Tampa. Our first stop was a visit with Karen’s parents in Zephyrills. They will celebrate their 59th Anniversary on Sunday as we celebrate our 35th. We then headed north on I-75. We got off the interstate near Cordele and hoped to camp near Andersonville but ultimately spent the night at a Best Western in Warm Springs, Georgia.
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.
