I was born in Dayton but moved to Indiana for college. I still have friends and family in Montgomery and Greene counties. We are using an agency in Yellow Springs for our adoption. Maybe some of us could get together while I'm there waiting for ICPC. Is Young's Jersey Dairy still around? BTW: I'm an Ohio State fan and Cincy Reds fan but football has to be my World Champion Colts!

As I said, I don't live in Ohio anymore but if you all do start getting together I would love to try to meet up with some of you next time we're in town. I still have a lot of family in Cleveland, Columbus and Findlay. We were actually just visiting Cleveland and Columbus in April. We took Shiloh to campus and got some pictures of her outside of the stadium. I'm already counting down the years until she can go to her first game!

I might be able to go to the Cleveland Zoo on the first Monday in August. I'll have to check with work, but I've been looking for an excuse to take a vaction day! That sounds like so much fun
Steph we love the Akron Zoo! It is such a nice size. Did you see the jellyfish?

Yes, Young's is still around. I took the kids there the weekend! When will you be in town? I'm in Bellbrook...

Count me in for the zoo! I am on summer vacation so any day works for me until the end of August. I was just at Youngs Dairy last week - very cool! The pork fritter sandwich was soooooo good.

Proudtobehismom- I know you didn't ask me, but I had to chime in! I grew up in Cranberry Twp. I moved down to Georgia 5 years ago after living in Cranberry for 20 years. My sister lived on Mt Washington for about a year and just recently bought a house in West View.

I am so amazed at how many of us from Ohio are on here. I am all for meeting up and doing the yahoo group. As I said before count me in for the first Monday in August for the zoo. I have off until the end of August, then I have to go back to teaching. I am so dreading going back. I do love my job and where I work, but being home with my little man is awesome! I know I am going to struggle the first few weeks back, thank goodness my mom watches him or I would really not want to go back.
