Ohio – Family Wedding

IMG_1690

It is always great to make my way back to Ohio to visit family and friends.  Weddings are extra special as it gives me a chance to see many of in one location.  The wedding took place near Mohican State Park.  The majority of the attendees stayed at the State Park Lodge or at the wedding site (which offered cabins and tree houses).

Most people came days prior to the wedding and we mainly gathered around the Lodge swimming pool.  We used this time for drinks and conversing.  Around 25 people, hit the golf course for a tournament one morning, which was quite an event.

Pics from the wedding:

Some pictures taken around Ohio prior to the wedding:

I was able to meet up with some old friends from the Sydney, Ohio area.

Speaking of family and friends, this is a good time to “plug” some pictures taken during my Spring time in Colorado.  These include many events – cycling, camping, Meadow Grass Music Festival, Avatar Concert at Black Sheep, step-son’s graduation, Grandparents day, meet up of friends from work days, Rockies game with my buddy Roger. etc.

Next, I am off to visit the Eastern Canadian Provinces!

Ohio – Family Wedding

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:
