We celebrated Dave’s birthday with a menu of Dave’s design, homemade turkey pot pie, and a chocolate cake with clowns on it. Rhonda again demonstrated her awesome culinary and cake decorating skills. Other activities of the day included Steve & Dave transferring Dave & Rhonda’s photos to their iMac and getting them set up to update their webpage, and Rhonda, Riley, and Karen going yarn shopping and getting materials for projects that will expand Rhonda & Karen’s knitting skills.
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.
