Greetings from Hamilton, Ohio

This is our campsite at Winton Woods in Hamilton, just north of Cincinatti.  It would have been a great place to explore if the weather had cooperated.  The lake had plenty of opportunity for kayaks and paddle boats but the rain never let up.  So we did laundry.  Now finding a laundromat is quite a challenge.  We asked our GPS for a coin laundry and it took us to a company that sells coin machines but they. could not tell us where to find a laundromat.  So we asked the GPS (we call her Naggie/Maggie) again and traveled another 12 miles to Mother's Laundry but when we arrived there was no laundry.  So we continued to wander a few more miles and found one that was not listed on the GPS.  It was a very upscale place that served nachos, popcorn, and soda fountain drinks.    Would you believe they make a washing machine that can do 45 pounds of laundry.  While we were doing laundry we were chatting with the manager and she pointed out that they have another location just minutes from where we were camping.  Thanks a lot Naggie/Maggie.  

We have had to change our travel plans for this trip.  We had planned on meeting our good friends in Vegas and take them through the Utah parks.  Patty and Fred have known us since the fellows met on the plane to boot camp.  Both were drafted in 1971 and we married a week apart.  Our daughters were born a month apart.   Their daughter learned this week that she has breast cancer that will require chemo and a double mastectomy.   They do not feel they can join us at this time and we do not want to make the trip without them.  We were blessed to spend a few nights with them in Hamilton and I even cooked dinner and brownies for them.  

Therefore we have decided to have lobster and will head to Maine after our Wisconsin visit.  We hope to enter Canada from Michigan and return to the states through Niagra falls area.  I have not researched this trip so please feel free to give me any suggestions.  We do have our passports but have no idea what to see.

God's peace be with all my family and friends.  Barbara
