October 27th, 2009 We Went to the Dayton Air Show
We were traveling around Ohio this past summer enjoying the rolling hills, the farms and country side. We were just out for a weekend of driving around and getting out of the city for a while. Looking for places to hike in the woods, farms to visit, produce to sample and buy. Just enjoying the hot lazy days of July in a realxing and casual manner.
We started off in Cincinnati, Oh on a Friday morning in mid July. heading south and west we had no particular destination in mind nor did we really care where we ended up as long s it was out of the city.
Early on we came across a farm that was having a sale. They were having a garage sale, maybe it was a permanent one, I am not sure. There were lost and lots of old and rusty machinery parts and tools: wrenches, hammers, hoes, shovels, spades, picks, gears, tires and so much other junk I could not possibly remember or list. The farmer and his wife were selling some handy work, baked goods and farm produce as well. The couple were really nice. Seems they are tyhe third generation to farm that piece of land and they had been working that farm since 1966. They really seemed to love their farm and the simple yet hard working life it provided for them. After some time talking we bought s loaf of bread, some home made jam, a jar of honey and some fruit. We now had lunch in tow.
We drove on that day getting close to Dayton when we saw a sign for the Air Show in Dayton. Perfect, we were there the same weekend as the Air Show. I love air planes and couldn’t miss the opportunity to see the show since we would be in the area. I got us rooms at hotels Dayton that Friday night so we could spend the day Saturday at the Air Show. It was very exciting to see the planes and hear the roar of the engines. I love going for drives without a plan, you just never know where you will end up or what you might see.
