What is the sales tax in Ohio these days? NJ has no tax on clothing...

Our state tax is 6.5% plus some counties/cities have extra tax. I usually get 7.25%. Last I checked we have taxes on everything but food ( excluding drinks at fast food places)

We just went to the AF Museum last month. Yes, definitely use DS's ID to drive to the Hangar. It could have been all day for DS11, but at 4 hours I wanted to poke my eyes out, and I'M IN THE AIR FORCE.....

King's Island is great (or used to be, when I lived in Dayton 18 years ago). Had great roller coasters if I remember correctly.

If weather is nice, the Yellow Springs Gorge is a nice walk.

There is a thread going about Jungle Jims which isn't far and I don't know what your beliefs are, but the Creation Museum is also close.

LOL, yes, DS11 is not going to want to leave. We went to the tiny museum they had at Edwards four years ago, and DS loved that. THanks for all the good feedback guys .
