Driving further west and into Ohio, it took us a lot longer than expected to reach our destination, about an hour north of Columbus, the state capitol. We took a few country roads along the way wandering through seemingly endless fields of corn. Our new home was an award-winning RV park with full services...and it was packed with families, kids, and lots of travelers. Being the end of the season, we got an indrecit rate and for our nights, we enjoyed great service. Two state parks are nearby and that provided lots of walking space and biking opportunities.
We took one day to drive into Columbus. The state's capital was quiet as expected. The downtown barely inhabited. We drove around the area looking at the buildings and wandered into the Germantown area with all of the wonderful 19th-century row houses. The area has been gentrified with loads of shops and restaurants...most closed or offering limited service. Since we were in a large city, we took advance of access to an IKEA store, a large hardware store, and we stocked up at a really great Kroger.
And, we found time to visit the local IKEA. While we did not buy anything...no need...it was fun to add another location to our international list. We have visited IKEA stores all over the world, and interestingly, many in countries you would never expect like Kenya and Uzbekistan.
