New Cumberland, WVA and beyond (June 15-16, 2021)

My wife and I went on a road trip, and these are the first parts. We were headed to New Cumberland, West Virginia. We made a stop along the way at the home in New Concord, Ohio of John and Annie Glenn. 

John Glenn was a Mercury astronaut and the first American to orbit the Earth in Friendship 7. Later he was a Senator from Ohio and even later he got back into space aboard a space shuttle. He was an amazing man and had an amazing life. 

Here is my wife as we enjoyed lunch at Coleman's Fish Market. Some of the most amazing fish sandwiches I have ever had, and very fine people serving them. We always stop there along the way. In fact we spent some time in Wheeling, but that will be in the next blog post.

We stayed at Mountaineer Casino in New Cumberland, WVA. Nice area. Enjoyed watching the horses run at the racetrack there. There also are casino games. Nice hotel and really enjoyed the stay. We ate at Connie's Corner in Chester, WVA and had a really good breakfast. It was so good we came back for dinner. While in Chester we got a photo of the World's Largest Tea Pot, and also visited the local VFW where we really love the military displays outside. That B-52 model is remarkable and its huge (not as huge as the actually plane, but impressive none the less).

We were blessed with wonderful weather and a great time. Had not been there for some four years, but looking forward to the next visit and hopefully it will be sooner.
