At the Air ForceMuseumMonday, 13 July, 2009
Western Pennsylvania is beautiful and green, a very nice drive this morning. Then we got into Ohio, not special. It looks like just about anywhere, flat and fairly forgettable. We did stop in Wadsworth at a Walmart, but Wadsworth is just not the same since Mary Saylor left.
We stopped for the night just north of Columbus at a nice campground at Marengo, where Kerry and Ethan went swimming in the indoor pool.
Tuesday, 14 July
The drive around Columbus was painless, not much traffic since we didn't leave the campground until 10:30. We went to Dayton to see the National Air Force Museum, which really was quite impressive. Lots of planes and lots of info. We saw Jim Harding's (Kerry's bro-in-law) display for his 101 missions in the O-1 over Viet Nam. Quite a feat.
From there we went to the Wright Brothers' Memorial and the Visitor Center there, where Kerry and Ethan got to fly a simulator of the Wright Brothers' Flyer. It was harder and slower than they thought; they both crashed multiple times.
We're staying 2 nights at Richmond, IN. Tomorrow I'm doing some genealogical research in Greenville, Ohio, then
Jim's display
sorry about the glare taking Ethan to see the new Harry Potter movie tomorrow night.

Ohio sucks ass! I'm glad we're all in agreement now. :)
