| Ed and Barb |
We entered Ohio on Sunday, August 4th and stayed for six fun nights, visiting relatives.
 |
| Winton Woods Campground |
(Cincinnati) We visited the first of Jane’s cousins, Ed, and his wife, Barb. Although we camped in the Winton Woods County Park (a beautiful wooded spot), we shared many wonderful hours of conversation at our picnic table and other tables.
(Near Columbus) Next stop was the horse farm of Dave’s cousin, Larry, and wife, Linda. Special moments included visiting with daughter, Lindsey, at dinner and taking a greatly enjoyed horse trek through the countryside with Linda and family friend, Ron.

Our mid-Ohio trip was particularly eventful as we played tourist for a few hours. We drove into Longaberger country, first passing their corporate headquarters (check out the basket building) and then stopping at the Homestead where we watched the weavers actually making the baskets - the little ones, not the apple basket on display outside!
Our route then took us on windy back roads through Amish country. The pace was slow as we came up behind horse-drawn buggies several times. Just taking the time to enjoy this part of the country was a much-needed treat.

| Hannah, Jack, Lisa, and Emma |
(Near Cleveland) We spent a couple of days visiting Lisa and nieces, Hannah and Emma, and nephew, Jack. How good it was to catch up on their lives. We even got to help celebrate Emmie’s 14th birthday and see friends, David and Jean.
We realize what a special gift we have in this trip where we just slip into our loved ones’ lives for a few days and then move on. But we don’t forget our loved ones at home in California and Tucson either. The grandkids travel with us along the way, as you can see.
