We got home yesterday on a wonderfully warm Sunday afternoon. After unloading most of our gear from the camper and getting the house opened up and the water system back in operation, we had a simple dinner and an early bedtime. By morning the weather was chilly and rainy. We made a rather long things to do list and headed out to run errands and restock the pantry. It’s good to be home but it’s a stark contrast to our recent month in the sun.
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.
Loved seeing you, hurry back, the patio and cooler are ready!
