Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

We Took a Shot and Visited The Hoosier Gym

By

When I went to college right out of high school, I chose to go to Anderson College in Anderson, Indiana. While I was there the movie Hoosiers was released. It is a basketball movie. I am not a huge fan of basketball, but I went to see this movie. Why? Well, basketball is huge in Indiana and I was in Indiana, so I went to see the movie. And I loved it! It is a David versus Goliath type of film. Spoiler alert -- the small town Hickory Huskers win the championship game against the much bigger city … [Read more...]

Sinking Our Teeth into Brown Bag Burgers

By

There is no end to the different burger places to try. It's not exactly the mission of Wendi's Weekend Trips and Whatnot to try them all, but then again having the chance to try a new is always a winning opportunity for us. So when I made a trip with my husband, Bobby and my parents, Bud and Dolores to North Olmsted and found out there was a Brown Bag Burgers in town, I was interested. After reading a few reviews saying they were better than Five Guys ... well let's just say I had to see for … [Read more...]

Trip to Almost Heaven Ice Cream was it Divine Intervention?

By

I don't know about you, but when I see the name of an ice cream shop "Almost Heaven" it seems like a sign that I should give it a try. That is exactly what my husband, Bobby, and I did during a recent trip to Canton, Ohio. We had traveled to Canton to visit the First Ladies Library and Historic site. After our tour we enjoyed lunch at John's Grill, but wanted something sweet to end our day. I did a search for desserts near us and that's when I found Almost Heaven Homemade Ice Cream it was … [Read more...]

Kenwood Acres Trail A Nice Easy Walk Through Nature

By

I love it when my parents, Bobby and Wendi Warren, are home for the weekend without any plans. That usually means they will make it a point to do something with me. As a dog, I'm pretty spoiled, ever since I was adopted into my forever home by Mom and Dad. But still, getting to get out and try new places, is one of my favorite things to do. That happened on a recent Saturday, when we took a ride out to Wooster Memorial Park's new trail at Kenwood Acres. As it happened, when Mom and Dad … [Read more...]

Mr. Zub’s Deli and Bar More Impressive than Carnegie Deli

By

I'm not a big deli person. I like sandwiches just fine, but I'm talking roast beef or turkey or ham. I don't need pastrami or corn beef or anything exotic. So I was not overly enthusiastic when my husband, Bobby, suggested we try Mr. Zub's Deli and Bar. We were in Akron to attend the inauguration of Frank LaRose as Secretary of State on a recent snowy Saturday. I guess I'm still a little leery of delis after my time at Carnegie Deli in New York City. Let's just say I was not very impressed. … [Read more...]
