West Virginia is along our route today as we trek north for a quick visit to Ohio to watch granddaughters dance this weekend. As always we were marveling at the landscape and this time really delighted in the Redbud trees blooming at the edge of the woods all along I-77. And as always we talked about taking time to explore the state. Just before leaving the state we stopped at the WV Welcome Center at Williamsburg near Parkersburg. Outside we checked out the West Virginia Fallen Worker Memorial We’ve always found welcome centers a great place to begin exploring a region and vow to check one out when we begin an extended visit to The Mountain State.
Sue and I ventured down to Nags Head, camping at Oregon Inlet NSeashore. In Reston VA for a few days and have been enjoying Spring. They have had snow back in Holland, MI while we have been enjoying temps in the 70’s. We’ll be in Ohio as well later this week. Put a new MaxxAir fan in our 320 and really enjoying it.
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.
