Thanksgiving in the Midwest Part 1

Last Monday, we loaded up the motorhome (with way to much stuff) and headed north for Stow, OH for the first stop on our journey to see relatives over the Thanksgiving Holiday.  Stow is where Kent State University is located, and were Belinda's older brother David is Associate Vice President of Admissions....he has done very well for himself! 

Along the way, we stopped in Kentucky at a Wal-Mart for a couple hours sleep in the parking lot, then on to Mansfield Ohio to visit a good friend, Christine Ball.  She met us at this really neat restauruant called the Buckeye Express.  Picture an old steam locomotive, turned into  diner, on the edge of a golf course, decorated by the owner who is an Ohio State Buckeye fan....yes, a bit unusual but really cool.

We then made our way to Stow - really nice little college town on the outskirts of Akron/Cleveland area.  Dave took us out for dinner in his new Mercedes (did I mention he is doing well for himself) and actually bought us dinner - good deal!
