Taking a Break in Ohio

2023 Full-Time, Ohio, Road Trip, States

It’s been five weeks since we arrived in Ohio and we’ve had three different long stays, six nights at Nimisila, ten nights at Winklepleck, and sixteen nights moochdocking behind our son’s family’s house. Besides the fabulous week at üCamp, it’s given us the opportunity to celebrate Dad’s Day with one of our sons, to see our granddaughter’s dance recital, and enjoy more time with family than we we were able to when we had a house in North Carolina. This bit of down time has also given us more time to explore northern Ohio, checking out cool restaurants, making doctors appointments, stashing and retrieving stuff from our storage unit, and more. We’ve found our favorite watering hole in Medina, the Pub downstairs at Thyme2 Restaurant. But then there was the most delicious lunch overlooking the Cuyahoga River at Burntwood Tavern in Cuyahoga Falls. And then there was the family outing to Bourbon Street Barrel Room in Cleveland for a fabulous Father’s Day Brunch. Both Dads thought it a treat. Fourth of July saw us doing a backyard cookout with the family and topping the evening off with a trip to Bruster’s Ice Cream
