Ohio, Land of the Free

I found freedom in Ohio. It was so great to be able to get up when I wanted, get myself dressed without any helpers coming in to check on me. I even got to eat a meal with out getting up five hundred times.
All in all, I achieved my goal of having some time to myself, and missed my family too. Although, I am already thinking of places I can take off to again someday... Hawaii sounds good.
We did lots of fun things besides holding cute babies, playing with hilarious two year olds, and playing Rock Band (I'm saving my pennies for that one. It was so fun!)
Here are some pics of my trip: We went to the location where the Wright Brothers had their bicycle shop, and where they worked on the Wright Flyer. They had some very interesting displays, which I actually took the time to read because I was kid-free that day. It is amazing what you can learn when you take some extra time. There was a display of all the family pictures and a brief synopsis of every member's life. I was struck by how supportive the Wright family were of Wilbur and Orville.


There was an exhibit about parachutes along with the information about airplanes.

This is my mom and my nephew checking out the store.

There was a flight simulator there where you can try to fly an updated model of one of the Wright Flyers. It was a little difficult to figure out, but we finally did it after crashing twice. This is me and my other nephew.
Finally, the whole purpose of going was to be present for the blessing of my newest nephew. It was nice to be there for the big day.

It was a wonderful trip full of good cuisine, good conversation and lots of fun with big kids and little kids. Thanks guys!
