The crazy detour, from Illinois to Ohio, for warranty work on our little teardrop camper, has another benefit. We get to enjoy a weekend with family, moochdocking in our son’s driveway, lunch out on a summer’s day with our granddaughters while the parents are at work, Friday night pizza and a movie, help from Peyton & Riley putting our stickers collection on the side of of trailer, and when the girls headed off to a baseball game, adults night out. Amy and Dave had discovered the Chowder House Cafe in Akron, Ohio after reading Yelp! reviews and couldn’t wait to share their find with us. For the four of us who were all raised on the coast and adore excellent seafood, this was a great find. It a small indie restaurant with a fun, funky decor, fabulous craft cocktails, and superb chef driven culinary offerings with an emphasis though not limited to quality seafood and French cuisine. Among us we tried two hand crafted cocktails, one microbrew, and eight various dishes. Everything was wonderfully tasty. A fabulous cap to our impromptu visit. Hope we can return again to this eatery!
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
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.
The girls did a fantastic job with the stickers!!
