Saturday morning in Waco, Texas, we were privileged to witness the fine young men and women of Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and band march prior to the football game against Baylor. We met Karen’s sister and brother-in-law and her nephew, one of the corps members in downtown Waco. After the parade we lunched with the Lenz family and some of Brian’s fellow corps members before traveling to Bedford to enjoy the hospitality of Patti & Mark for a few days.
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.
