AUGUST 5, 2014 – Angie and Rick, our best of friends from the great state of Texas, visited us for a couple of days starting on Thursday, July 31. They are on their first “car trip” since selling their motor home.
Of course, this put Marsha in her “Tour Guide” mode and “Memory Creating” attitude. They arrived on Thursday, July 31, and we spent the evening catching up since we last saw them in October, 2013.
Bright and early, Friday morning we were off on Marsha's “Tour of Canton.” With the Football Hall of Fame activities in full swing, things were pretty busy at Marsha's normal tour stops. We did get to drive by the Football Hall of Fame and a few spots downtown but the beautiful Women's Club Gardens were blocked off.
They did get the treat of climbing the 105 steps up the hill to President McKinley's Monument....a “Rocky” moment indeed.
Since Rick is a Vietnam Veteran, Marsha thought it would be a nice idea to show him the Stark County Veterans Memorial.
We then headed to Berlin, OH, and Amish Country were we visited several tourist areas and sampled some wine at three wineries.
Breitenbach Winery
Swiss Heritage Winery
Perennial Vineyards
Our favorite signs of the day.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
It looks like Angie and Rick got the two dollar tour. Hope to see you all back in the valley.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful time with your friends. I know they got a first class tour with "Marsha's Travel Agency." It is the best one around:)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than having a local tour guide to show you the sights.
ReplyDeletealways wonderful to spend time with friends. . .that wine tasting looked great too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great tour.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to meet up again with folks you have met on the road?
ReplyDeleteOk wait, that first chick drank that whole bottle by herself? AND she can still do the ironing? That's stamina.
ReplyDeleteEveryone thinks of the Football Hall of Fame when you say Canton, OH but I forgot about President McKinley. Maybe we'll have to make a detour.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great tour of Canton! I'm sure your friends must have really enjoyed it as I know I did.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your friends from Texas got a grand tour of Canton...thanks for bringing us along as well. What an interesting place. Not sure I'm in shape for those steps :-) definitely a Rocky moment!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you all had fun. Nothing better than good friends to share our lives with!!!!
Always fun to show people around your stomping grounds, sounds like you had an awesome time.
ReplyDeleteI believe if we have swung by there, we will also get a first class tour!
