We've had a wonderful time in Ohio with Jason. We enjoyed hiking in Mt. Airy Forest, doing about 5 miles on Saturday morning. The weather was excellent. John and Jason are looking at a deer - can you see it to the left of John's left shoulder? The deer were plentiful and unafraid. Jim will be running a 50k race here in October so we thought of him when taking the pic of the stone steps. We went down them but I'll bet the race will go up them! This isn't all of the steps, just the steepest part.
Jason's apartment is fantastic. His new dining room table and shelves are the perfect addition. I enjoyed swimming in the nice pool which his living room overlooks. We ate great meals at a Thai place; a sandwich/deli place; Italian food at Carraba's; bratwursts at Riverfest where we were once again thrilled by the fireworks; expensive food at the Reds-Mets ballgame; and to top it all off, an excellent barbeque at the campground on Labor Day. Thanks to Jason for a wonderful visit!
