From frontier community to logging town to artists colony to tourist destination, Nashville in Brown County Indiana seemed a good place to just hang out for a day with CJ. She was interested in checking out some of the shops that carry yarn since the two local yarn shops in Bloomington have folded. Together we poked around town. We started the experience with a sandwich and caffeine boost at The Daily Grind before poking around various gift shops. The Clay Purl had some lovely yarns and CJ left with a couple of skeins. Later in the afternoon Phil joined us as we poked around in the Moonshine Leather shop. After ice cream at The Chocolate Moose and some great pizza and beer at Big Woods Pizza we all declared it a successful day. We headed back to Brown County State Park and they made their way back to Bloomington with plans get together in the morning.
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.
