One of the hallmark activities of our family gatherings is riotous card playing. The favored game is a mult-handed game based on Klondike Solitaire. Today we had as many as seven folks in a crazy wild fast paced series of games. Newcomers to the game Brian and Alexis really held their own. This was fit in along with a lunch of Ted Peter’s smoked mullet and leftover BBQ as well as a spackling and paint prep party!
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.
