  • Cinderella Bridge on the Gorge Trail

    Mill Creek Metro Parks, OH, June 2026 We decided to start with the west gorge trail on the other side of the creek.

    Youngstown, OH, June 2026 Kate looked up things to do in the area, and she found two places that looked interesting.

In John’s opinion, it should have been more about the First Ladies, the programs they endorsed, and their roles as White House hostess. This page is less history and more fluff. Spread throughout…
