August 22 - Vacation Week 1 Summary

We went on vacation for the two weeks before the start of school.

So here is the promised, Vacation Summary – Week 1:

Week 1 – We went hiking at Hocking Hills for 4 days.

Highlight – No one fell off a cliff and we stayed at a castle.

Lowlight – Heidi bought the only known bottle of wine within the small town of MacArthur, Ohio and got carded. (OK- that is her highlight.)

Week 1 – We saw Tecumseh, the outdoor drama.

Highlight – I was able to connect with my Native American Ancestors

Lowlight - It turns out they were only actors wearing a lot of body make-up.

Week 1 – We participated in the World’s Longest Yard Sale.

Highlight – Bought lots of cool stuff for dirt-cheap prices. Some purchases included:

* Large fork and spoon ($3)
* Winter boots ($1)
* 2 new CD Players in original (warm) unopened box ($10 each)
* Yard Flamingo ($3)
* Combination Chess/ Checkers / Backgammon Set ($3)
* Large smiles on 3 kids (priceless)

Lowlight – I bought a trombone for $20 and am thinking about getting the band back together. (The band was my High School Marching Band from 1977. )

My Week 2 Summary will be posted once Delta decides to return my luggage.
