We moved to Ohio in September of 2002. Dave had been in Columbus for a week, came home and then we packed up some clothes, some toys, 2 babies and 2 dogs and headed to an apartment off Morse Road next to Easton. Oh the places we have gone since!
Here's some of the stuff we will miss about Ohio:
- The Ballons. The Hall of Fame Festival features a hot air balloon festival. It's my favorite thing about NE Ohio.
- Picking apples. We went the first time with my friends Connie and Sarah in Columbus and I was hooked. We have gone at least once a year and we love it.
- The Fall. We love to go for a hay ride, pick pumpkins and pull out our hoodies.
- Proximity to Woodloch. Our annual summer family vacation spot in the Poconos. We should be leaving tomorrow but decided last summer not to put down a deposit in case we were moving.
- How warm 45 degrees feels in March.
- Deep pools. In Florida, most of the pools seem to be only 5 feet deep.
- Basements.
It goes without saying that there are so MANY people we will miss and to make a list would be obnoxious. In Ohio we lived in Columbus (Pickerington), Sidney and Jackson. Every place we had a circle of friends who we adore. I reminded the kids while it is so sad to leave our friends behind, it would be even more sad if we were leaving here wiping the dust from our feet. So, friends of mine, book your tickets for Florida now! The door will be open and your room will be ready and the beach is just 15 miles away :)
