Going on my 1st date since my wife of 35 years passed away in 2024. The woman I am meeting lives in Dayton and works at Wright Pat AFB. Looking for a laid back place where preferably I can bring my dog (I know). Just putting it out here to find some ideas. Thanks

Loveland, OH is a cute town about halfway between Dayton and Cincinnati.  The Loveland Castle is very cool and unique.  I’m not sure if it’s pet friendly.

Maybe rent a canoe or kayak on the Little Miami River.  Or bike on the bike path adjacent to the river. That’s a really nice area.

Yes, I live right next to Loveland but I am looking for something off I75 closer to Dayton, but thanks for the response.

Dayton Metro parks, Caesars creek lake / park since you mentioned dog.

Probably most popular place in Dayton is the AF museum.

Not sure if Buc-ee's is pet friendly but could be fun to walk around there. That might be second date.

My wife and I did the indoor skydiving in Cincinnati. Pricey but worth checking out

Bellbrook Brewing Company is dog friendly as long as it's well behaved. They don't serve food but there's a couple of pizza places close by you can order from and take in.

Next to UD is Carirlion (sp?) Park.  Dog friendly, really cool stuff to walk around and see, and an interesting brewery that serves period beer.  Or an old timee ice cream shop is there too

Appreciate all the replies. When she found out I wasn't a liberal, like her, she declined to meet. A bummer as it sure seemed like we clicked. In response to her blow off text, I just told her to remember how great make up sex is

I would think that would be a minority at the base, at least everyone I know there is not a liberal.

She works with troubled children, but I would agree. Doesn't matter that is in the rear view mirror, her loss. I actually just set up a date with another WP employee. Going to go to
https://www.nellysbolivia.com in Centerville. They have great reviews and it's something different.

Nellys is good food, casual. Centerville is nice town, after dinner walk up to Graeters for ice cream just up the block.
There were these two fellars standin' on a bridge, a-goin' to the bathroom. One fellar said, "The water's cold" and the other fellar said, "The water's deep". I believe one fella come from Arkansas. Get it?

Keep Carillon park in your reserves.

Nice walk area, train,  old village.  The Wright brothers village is super cool.
I'm on break.
