We awakened to a task to which we are not accustomed, we had to scrape snow off the windshield. Spent the morning lingering over breakfast and shopping for shoes warmer than what we needed in Florida. Spent the afternoon and evening in the warmth of Dave & Rhonda’s home. The warmest welcome of all may have been from our delightful granddaughter, Riley!
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.
Me thinks you need to get a proper ice scraper for the car. The credit card solution only works for those once-in-a-decade Florida frosts. 😉
