Ohio – Family Wedding

image

Colorado to Ohio for a nephew’s wedding.  I always look forward to and enjoy such times.  I get a chance to see my extended family in one spot and for a happy occasion.

The drive to Ohio was a mess with a blizzard and then ice storm but slow and steady paid off.   I spent 6 days with family and friends.  The below pics provide highlights of that time.  A  special thanks to Gordy and Deb for providing me a place to stay, Ann and Gary for their hospitality, and Dave and Gina for boarding on my way to my next stop.

It was great to see the new generation of family that are already growing way to fast.

Had a chance to see Logan play at a local winery and of course it is not a trip back to mid-west without White Castle.

 

On my way to Nashville, I stopped in Cincinnati for the night and Dave and Kyle took me out for food and then bowling.  A church near their house has a 2 lane bowling alley, bar and more downstairs.  Never quite expected something like that.

 

For those of you who know Gary, this is priceless:

Spending the Holiday months with family and friends is priceless.  Along with the usual Holiday Cheer, my time included cycling, fishing, music, hiking and chill time.  Of course, I also used the time to catch up on many administrative duties while back in town.

Some pics from my Colorado time:

Happy hours with Steve and Pat.  Steve built a “beer” bike out of spare parts which he uses for beer runs, regardless of the weather:

Heading to Ohio today for a family wedding and then off to new adventures throughout the US.  Should be fun!!  Stay tuned.
