Our Grandchild Ava


The best part of our visit to Akron was seeing John’s son Johnny, his wife Jen, and their daughter Ava. We missed Ava during our last visit, so we hadn’t seen her in 5 years.  Since then she’s learned how to talk, walk, read, and all kinds of things!

Johnny is a chef, so we enjoyed several incredibly delicious meals including steak with a terrific béarnaise sauce for our anniversary.  Ava served us a delightful imaginary meal with John gamely seated at the small table.

We tried to visit a marble museum, but it was closed. Instead we saw a local antique shop / junk store with rooms of neat stuff. Loved the TV display!

We hiked in a nearby park with the fall colors surrounding us.



One of the highlights for me was an area where birds will land on your outstretched hands.  People have been feeding the birds here for so long, you don’t actually need to have food with you anymore. I felt like Mary Poppins.



We talked, hiked, played games, and raced. A terrific visit!
