Hey Gang
Well I embarked on short 3 day trip with Walt & Jimmy to Dayton for a dance recital and museums. I wasn't feeling the best so wasn't to keen on going but doping myself up with loads of green tea, vitamin C, hot foods and Nyquil had me feeling just a bit short of OK. So I packed and we left Friday at 6pm, and yes I was ready, zero wait time for Walt & Jimmy.
The ride down was uneventful. We stoped somewhere in Ashalnd at a place called Der Dutchman. Corporate Amish food, but it was good.
Our rooms are nice but I had something extra they didn't. Ants. I left the shot glass of Nyquil on the desk where the ants were and now they are gone. Besides the flu bug does it chase away ants also?
2 in a row for Carey! I woke on time for once for breakfast, 9:30. It was amazing seeing I didn't sleep sound. The room above me either has a dance troupe staying there or someone with elephant feet - BAM BAM BAM.
Then we were off to Wright Patterson Airforce museum at 10. Even if you don't like flying or planes it is a must see. A very impressive display of planes, all the wars since the advent of the plane and other artifacts.
We took a lunch break in the cafe in the museum. I was telling Walt I haven't been here since about 20 years ago. The next table over an elderly volunteer sat down. I had to ask him how long has he worked here since I was wondering how much it has changed the last time I was here 20 years ago. His name was Bob and he replied 20 years. Nice! The answer I got was yes it has changed a lot, much has been added.
Bob served in Vietnam during the French Indochina friction and was trying to stop Vietnam from happening.
Before I got started on a long conversation Walt cut it short and said lets go. I thanked Bob for his service and left.
On to Yellow springs and Clifton Gorge. I have been there twice before but I had to show Walt & Jimmy. They were impressed.
I will leave this part out, buy my book to find out.
From our short hike onto to dinner at the Clifton Mill. I wasn't hungry so skipped the meal but enjoyed just sitting relaxing. Then to the opera house. Our waitress told us they play nothing but old people music. Who cares. I wasn't sure if we would even stay I wanted to look inside the opera house because each time I was in the village it was closed. Luck had it where it was open.
Stay tuned for whats inside the opera house.
Gotta GoGo!!
