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
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
we’ll be following you I’m guessing as we head towards Colorado next Sunday…who knows we may wave atcha!
Actually we may be passing in the opposite direction. We’re coming from Wisconsin and Illinois and by we Monday we expect to be back in Ohio to get organized for our next adventure.
