Camden and I stayed up until midnight. Literally watched the ball drop, told each other "Happy New Year," then laid down in our hotel bed and went to sleep. On New Year's Day, we had a last swim in the pool then headed about 50 minutes north of Dayton to the Ohio Caverns. It was one of the few things open on this holiday, but also seemed really interesting.
It is a smaller cavern, but called the most colorful in Ohio (if not the US). I was a little worried about claustrophobia, but it was not bad at all.
After the tour and a stop in the gift shop, we headed toward home. The biggest problem was finding a restaurant that was open to get lunch. We about decided we were just going to settle for a standard fast food option (we hate that on vacations!), when I found a Dayton pub that, again, had high recommendations and was open. Bunker's Bar & Grill was listed as one of Dayton's most underrated restaurants.
We started with the Birdies Nest which was a delicious stack of onion rings. We each got some good sandwiches that we shared, but I made sure I got some coleslaw too. I did this in Grammy's honor because she always made sure she had some on January 1 and I often made a quick run to KFC to get her a small dish.
