Ohio links

Last summer we took our grandsons John, 9 years old, and James, 7, on an outing almost every weekend. We visited caves, air shows, amusement parks, and took train rides. On Saturday mornings we would pack a picnic lunch, a map, and our camera. James would bring the binoculars (just in case), and we would set off to explore Ohio.

The boys said that the Sea World of Ohio trip was the best, one that they'll always remember. You can see them having the ride of their lives by clicking here.

Below are links to just a few of the places we visited. Look around and visit a few of the many things Ohio has to offer.

Ohio Caverns

	Outdoor Drama "Tecumseh!"
Get there early and take the backstage tour. They demonstrate how some of the stunts are done. After the show, meet the cast, they will gladly sign autographs and pose for photos with the kids!

Sea World of Ohio

US. Air Force Museum- Dayton
One of our favorite one-day trips.
There are aircraft on display from the Wright Brothers era to the present.

Before you go....Here's a recipe for Ohio's favorite candy:

Buckeyes

Mix together 3 cups creamy peanut butter,
1 1/2 sticks softened butter and 2 lbs. confectioner's sugar.

Form into small balls.
Using a toothpick, dip balls into melted dipping chocolate until almost covered, leaving some of the peanut butter mixture exposed on top.

Refrigerate. ENJOY!
