Travel. Food. Fun.

Music, Food, Fun & Friends at Fiore’s

By

My husband, Bobby and I have driven by Fiore's in Wooster for years on our way to RKO. We've even gone by when they have had bands playing on the patio, but we've never stopped. That is until Friday, July 28, when a Pat Benatar tribute band was playing. The name of the band is Invincible: A Tribute to Pat Benatar and the '80s. Bobby loves to listen to live music. I love '80s music. The weather was great, even a little cool for a July evening. The band was awesome. Bobby had such a good time … [Read more...]

Bomba Tacos & Rum Brings Caribbean Flavors to Northeast Ohio

By

When my husband, Bobby, and I went to Fairlawn, Ohio a couple of weeks ago, we were trying to decide where to eat lunch. We ended up at The Melt Bar and Grilled, which you can read about here, but had tossed around the idea of going to Bomba Tacos & Rum. We had never been there, but it sounded interesting. So when my niece, Ashley, and I were in Fairlawn the next week, Bobby suggested we try Bomba's without him. While I rely on Bobby to get pictures, I agreed to do my best. After we … [Read more...]

Getting the Lowdown on Melt Bar & Grilled

By

There are some places that I have gone to eat prior to starting my blog. Melt Bar and Grilled is one of those places. The first time I tried Melt it was in Columbus with our cousin Danny. It was okay, I had heard so much about it that I guess I expected something different. When my husband, Bobby, and I went to Fairlawn recently, he suggested we go to the one there. I didn't know that Fairlawn had a Melt, so I figured it must be pretty new. Since I haven't written about it previously, I agreed … [Read more...]

Five Places to Visit Before Summer is Gone

By

I can't believe how fast time is going this summer. It is almost mid-July already! While this year has been sort of a "slow" year with visiting places -- we've been saving for our New York City trip -- we wanted to highlight some things to consider doing while the weather is "good." 1.  Cedar Point If you love roller coasters, then obviously Cedar Point is the place to go. Their newest ride, Valravn, which is in its second season, is a take-your-breath-away drop coaster. The time you are … [Read more...]

New York City, Here We Come — Again!

By

Up until October 2015 I would have never entertained the idea of traveling to New York City. I had been there once in 1989 or 1990, but it was a really quick trip. It was to drop my sister, Sonni, and her family off at JFK International Airport to head to Madrid, Spain. Her husband, who was in the Air Force, was being stationed there. My impression of New York was that it was crowded and busy. But in October 2015 I put in a proposal to do a presentation for a conference that would be held at the … [Read more...]
