A Day in Dayton

If you’re looking for a little city action, Dayton is only ten miles away. Check out the Dayton Opera, Ballet, or Philharmonic Orchestra for a little shot of culture. Or, pick up some information at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, which is the largest and oldest museum of its type in the world. If you’re into planes, you’ll also want to hit up Dayton for the annual Vectren Air Show. You could even travel to Dayton to go on an eating spree in an attempt to try all the pizza restaurants in town. (You don’t have to eat at each of them on the same day, though. In fact, if you did, the feat would probably be worthy of a Guinness World Records mention.)
