Dayton to Chautauqua Lake

Marlena

Up about 7:00 in Dayton and after a leisurely coffee and Morning Joe, a shower, we are off for home.  It looks like it's going to be a rainy day, lots of rain towards Cleveland, quite a welcome to Ohio, the same I assume at the lake.

We drove all the way to Dayton, a bit over 9 hours(595 miles) so we made pretty good time.  We only stopped twice, for gas and something to eat and the traffic was not bad though as we got into the Indiana/Ohio area, it started to rain pretty hard, making it harder to see and drive.  We checked into our Marriott, just about 6:00, went across the street to Charlie'O's, a local eatery, found out we had five minutes to order if we wanted half price appetizers and beers, so we jumped, four beers, a spinach artichoke dip and potato skins with bacon.  We spent about an hour there, really liked the bar tender, then came back to watch the   Monday Night Football game, for me, and play Words With Friends for Evie.  She almost had a meltdown as she didn't think she could get on line at first but finally she got on, whoooo!

Today should be about six hours to the lake, if we don't stop by we probably will stop in Chagrin Falls at Trader Joe's, to stock up on some goodies, perhaps some more wine.  It sounds good to get back to the lake, always does, even when we have had a great time with the kids.
