Where have I been? We left Ft Wayne Indiana a week ago, drove to Dayton, Ohio, we toured the Air Force Museum, then the next two days drove on home. Home, the grocery store, kind of staying close to home for a couple of days.
Who have I talked to? I had breakfast with Diaday of House Dust and Wanderlust last Thursday morning in Centerville/Kettering a close in south eastern suburb of Dayton. Her blog reflects her personality, perky, honest, and upbeat. It was great to meet her. And this checks one of my goals for the year to meet a couple of bloggers this year.
When is the next adventure? I am headed to New York soon to celebrate the 60th birthday of the guy who got me started with blogging. He no longer blogs, but he does have a pod cast.
What then? I promise I am going to stay home for a while.
How Was the trip? Very good. It was good to see family in Cleveland, we explored the town my mother finished high school in, the wedding was great fun with great friends, it was wonderful to see my family, and meet Owen, meeting Diaday was wonderful fun, and then a tiring drive on home, lots of wind, rain, and a little fog.
What was the best hotel of the trip? Home2Suites by Hilton is a new brand, we stayed in two of them. The rooms are larger, and comfortable. Unlike most "suite" chains, Home2Suites offers rooms with two beds.
Who deserves a special THANK YOU this week? Former President Jimmy Carter on his 100th birthday. A role model for all of us. Thank you for all that you did for the world.
Great photos. Charming weather in the background of the selfie. Glad you had a good trip.
ReplyDeleteNice fog that morning, we had driven in the rain most of the day before.
DeleteNice trip with nice visits is always a plus.
ReplyDeleteYes, to Jimmy!! An amazing human.
A lot of going this year.
DeleteYes, winter is coming, time to start staying in and cocooning a bit.
ReplyDeleteI am ready to nest for a few months.
DeleteThat's interesting about two beds. We ask for a twin room here to have two beds and they are normally available. Accommodation places will normally go out of their way to make sure you get twin beds if you want, rather than the standard, nowadays, queen sized.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good trip!
ReplyDeleteA couple of days with too much driving, several great museums
DeleteAgain, so, so good to meet you! Conversation was so easy because of our blogging stories. I worried about your drive with that horrible wind and rain that battered the region. Glad you made it home safely. Enjoy your time in NYC!
ReplyDeleteThe German car handles well. It was great meeting you.
DeleteHope you have some time to relax before your next adventure!
ReplyDeleteI voted yesterday! Hurray! Go, Harris/Walz! Go, Blue!
Rest starts in a few days,
DeleteYou've had a busy week. Lots to see and do. I'm envious of your trip to NYC. That is a place that is always fun.
ReplyDeleteOn the train this morning
DeleteI echo your comments on President Carter. A great man, poorly treated by the voters years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe first election I voted in, he won.
DeleteNever meant a blogger.
ReplyDeleteI vote for two rooms and two beds. Someone loves to fall asleep to the TV, something I cannot stand.
