We’re off!
Actually, as you read this we are back on the ground.
Hubby and oldest granddaughter and I have set off on a journey back to his and my old stomping grounds - the land of our fathers and mothers - the land where we met - the land where we started our life together.
No, it’s not all that romantic - we’re visiting family and friends in Columbus, Ohio. I was born and raised there - hubby (born in West Virginia) was raised there. We each still have some family living in the area and we both have friends there still.
Granddaughter and I are spending time in the hotel pool each night - Grandpa can’t do it because of his poor diabetic feet - he has no feeling in his feet so must be very careful. But granddaughter and I do not have that problem. We love the water and packed our bathing suits just because we can.
One of the things I hope we get to do is visit some of the yarn stores in the nearby area. I was disappointed when I couldn’t do that in Juneau, so am looking forward to exploring a bit in Columbus.
We’ll be also visitng COSI (Center of Science and Industry) which was always so much fun to visit when I was a girl and then when my oldest was a youngun. They are in a new location - well, they’ve been there several years, but I haven’t been to it. It is actually a quite historical location, having been built around an old high school building. They have kept the structural integrity of Central High School, while building around it. Sort of looking forward to seeing the inside of it - I’ve driven by it on my last few trips back “home”.
Oooh, they’re showing a movie about Greece! Yay. Looks like it will be a full day adventure there.
