One of my last pre-Covid adventures last year was to the Ohio History Center in Columbus.
The purpose of my visit was to tour and learn about the Lustron Home which was manufactured in Columbus in the mid century. However, there were a number of other unexpectedly interesting things to see here including an exhibit on Civil War Battle flags.
This one represents the 121st Ohio Infantry Volunteers which was organized out of Delaware, Ohio. They mustered in for three years service starting in 1862
It’s ragged from use and age but it’s still beautiful.
That was a good day.
Honestly, I don’t recall what all I did that day. It was a cold February Saturday and I had gotten up early to be there when the doors opened. I’m pretty sure there was a Half Price Books stop involved on the way out of town. If I had know that it would be one of my last adventures for a while, I might have dawdled longer and appreciated the freedom better.
But that’s the curse of the human condition, I suppose. We always think we have more time time, more opportunities then we really have.
What was your last adventure before the shutdown? Spare no details. Some of us are starved for the excitement of fun outside home and neighborhood.
You’ve got me thinking with this post. I guess my last great adventure before lockdown would have been my trip to Chernobyl around 6 months before. Work wouldn’t give me too much time off after that. But like you ive got so many trips i want to take and people i want to meet. One of my biggest trips will be our New York to SanFrancisco road trip. Always wanted to do coast to coast and theres loads of things i want to see, including civil war sites and the great wild west. Can’t wait to read about your trips too when they start up again.
Oh my gosh! New York to San Francisco sounds amazing! How much time will you have for that trip? There’s so much to see and do. What fun!!
We’re looking to spend at least a month. Its something ive always wanted to do but never had the time. Hopefully do it sooner rater than later so maybe in 2023, fingers crossed.
I hope it’s everything you dream and more! 🚗
Ours was our trip to Chicago in January 2020. It was a cold weekend! We got a room in the Palmer House and explored the Loop all weekend.
That sounds heavenly! I’m so glad you had that experience together. I have never been to Chicago and keep thinking I need to find an adventure pal to go check it out.
