Leaving OVU-Jefferson Ohio-Erie Pa.

Fri. After breakfast we did our laundry the to Williamstown to Da Vinci Italian Rest. for lunch.  We pasted Fenton Art Glass (top left)on the way.  We went to Marietta Ohio they were getting ready for boat races, craft show, and entertainment(middle left and bottom four pictures).  We walked to the chocolate store for desert then to the old courthouse(top four pictures on right).

Sat. After breakfast we spent the next five hours getting places to stay the next month.  After dinner I got the truck and rig ready to leave, we took a walk, watched a little TV.

Sun. After church we ate at Panera's, went shopping, and got fuel.  Relaxed then ate and went to church.  When we got home we cleaned and got the rig ready to pull out. 

Mon.  Top left pictures we finally saw a buck and got a good picture of the fawn.   Top right a bridge as we traveled.  We stopped at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton Ohio.  With Linda and I not being avid football fans we both enjoyed seeing the hall of fame.  It was well presented with a lot of folks there we were not crowded.  It took football from the early years till what it is today.  The equipment how it has changed even the footballs are different.  The display of the Super Bowl rings was amazing.  We did see and read a lot and were there for three hours.  We know there was more we could have spent more time in like the Hall of Fame Gallery where each year that players were inducted into the hall had a bronze head of them(2nd row 3rd picture Jim Brown).  When we left there we came to Jefferson Ohio to a Thousand Trails park.  After we got settled in we took a bike ride played two holes of putt putt before the rain. 

Tues. After our bible study we drove to Erie Pa. The first thing Chick fil a, we dressed like a cow to get free breakfast which we were late for and got lunch instead. Top left 2pictures and the left one is with a 2 week calf.  We got our Starbuck’s coffee and went shopping.  We then drove downtown to the Bicentennial Tower and since it was cloudy and raining did not go up.  We saw the Victoria Princess(top 3rd picture) a paddle wheel boat and the Brig Niagara 1800’s war sail ship. Then to the amazing “Presque Isle State Park”.  It is free, the roads and bike path are great everything is clean.  It has many place to picnic, swim on Lake Erie, take ferry boats, volleyball, marina, fishing, and pontoon boat rides.  You can rent canoes, bikes, or seaways.  There are many walking trails.  2nd row 3rd picture is the light house which is open on weekends.  This is one of the best gems we have been to.  Also there is Waldameer Water World and an Evironmental Center.  You need to see the Center first for they tell of the island and thing to see on the island.  It has a tower you can see the amusment park and parts of the island.  When we left there we drove to Romolo Chocolates.  Again free samples cost me money.  You are able to watch them make the chocolates which they just finished before we got there.  We drove back downtown to a restaurant which was the first fire house.  We did not eat there because we went back to Chick fil a.   Bottom right is one of the many frogs in town. 

Wed. After our bible study we did laundry. After lunch my cousin Shirley came for the afternoon.  We talked about the past then had dinner.  After she went home Linda and I went for a walk then did a bible study together.
