Visiting The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo In Cleveland, OH
When we hit Ohio for the road trip *officially* in 2018, we knew we'd missed a ton since we spent most of our time with friends. There's so much to see and do in Ohio that is unexpectedly cool.

I've seen a lot of military stuff growing up in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Because of that, I think I'm less impressed than most when I see giant ships.

Visiting The American Sign Museum In Cincinnati, Ohio
Other than Portsmouth, VA where we used to live before setting off on our 50 state road trip, the city we've visited most often over the last 10-15 years has been Cincinnati.
