Deep in the Heart of Buckeye

After lunch while the twins slept, the family headed east. Seeing a train on a sign for La Grange, KY we jumped off track briefly to check that historic town for a caboose. Finding none, we resumed our journey towards Ohio. In their brief lives, Benji and Trey Davey have already visited 10 states, including Ohio, although their first Buckeye State visit was little more that a border crossing. This time we headed directly into the heart of the state to Hilliard, a charming little community just outside Columbus. Hilliard’s Historical Village offers visitors a walk into the past. Beautiful icons of the past included several 19th century buildings, a mobile voting booth, covered bridge and a renovated 1923 Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad (C&O) wooden caboose. We explored this park for about an hour before finding a hotel for our first vacation night.
