It has been a very busy time here. Made the move from Richmond, Virginia to near Dayton, Ohio in mid-November, and it has been a wild time. Getting settled in has taken a while. Anyone who says moving is easy has never done it quite like this. Used the U-Pack service which was cool. That made the actual move quite easy. There was some snow here over the last few weeks, but many inches less then the big storm that hit Richmond over the late fall early winter when they got at or slightly over 10 inches (depending on what you read). Here for the end of 2018...they got 2.5 inches in total.
First Christmas here was a great one. Got our tree up and even did some decorating outside the house. It was a very busy time here, but a lot of fun. Working to find my way around. Fortunately my wife Debbie is a resident and that helps a great deal.
On December 20, we went to the Carillon Historical Park where we saw this rather large Christmas tree draped around the bell tower. I have been there before during a previous visit and have enjoyed that a bunch.
The Park has many historic items on display covering a wide range of Ohio history. This was my first visit during Christmas and it was really packed with a lot of beautiful lights and other Christmas items. I went with Debbie and some friends of ours and we all had a very wonderful time.
I look forward to going back again in the Spring!
One of the items on display at the Carillon Historic Park is the Wright Flyer III. This is considered to be the World First Practical Aircraft. Not the first to fly that being the Wright Flyer which is on display at the Smithsonian Air And Space Museum in Washington, DC. Like that plane though this is the real deal, not a replica.
At any case my plans for this blog are the same as with Richmond and Me. To share the sights and some of the highlights of this area and a few points beyond. Thank you for visiting my page!
