We made it to our 10th state, Ohio! This state has a special meaning to me because it is where I was born and lived for the first eight years of my life. The ride today started through the familiar corn mazes we had been riding through since Illinois. As we approached the Ohio border, hundreds of wind turbines turned slowly with the morning breeze. We quickly flew through the small town of Payne and decided to stop at the local library in Paulding to take a rest. The librarian came out and took our photo to add to their library website, so we are slowly making the media rounds. Leaving Paulding we headed towards HW 424 and for the rest of the day had a refreshing change of scenery riding right beside the winding Auglaize and Maumee River. We passed through the small towns of Defiance and Florida and let the river lead us right into Napoleon, where we met up with Aunt Kim and Aunt Jody and cousins Katy and Matthew. They drove a few hours south from Michigan to take us out to dinner and bring us a goodie bag filled with amazing treats. We had a great dinner at Big Boys and was treated to a hotel room in town. We ended the night playing cards and said goodbye to our Michigan family. Thank You for such a special day and for making the trip down!!!
