Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Subzero Ice Cream: It’s Magic!

By

I'm not that complicated of a girl. I like good ice cream. I like trying new things. I like adventures. I love spending time with my husband, Bobby. So when you wrap all that up into a date, you're talking about a real winner. That is what happened on July 3, 2016, when we took an impromptu trip to Subzero Ice Cream & Yogurt shop in Wadsworth, Ohio. Alright, I have to be honest (I am my mother's daughter) I have experienced something like Subzero Ice Cream before. It was on a trip to … [Read more...]

Lehman’s: Everything Including the Kitchen Sink 

By

When my husband, Bobby, and I participated in the inaugural Cupcake Tour earlier this year, we had the opportunity to visit five different Wayne County businesses. The tour took us to P. Graham Dunn, Smuckers Company Store and Cafe, Shisler's Cheese House, Eastwood Furniture and Lehman's.

Cole plays James Green … [Read more...]

Be Careful What You Wish For (Because You Might End Up in Richmond, Va.)

By

It's a funny thing when you get what you wish for and then you wonder what you were thinking. For example, I recently was speaking with my husband, Bobby, my official videographer/photographer, about my blog. I said something along the lines of "It's called Wendi's Weekend Trips and Whatnot, but I haven't been on a weekend trip in a while." Famous last words I think. Because the very next day I am caught up in a whirlwind. You see Bobby, who just so happens to be a reporter for The Daily … [Read more...]

Dor-Stop is a Must Stop When Visiting Pittsburgh

By

With the holiday weekend upon us and a quiet one planned in my corner of the world, I thought I would wrap up my blogs about our recent trip to Pittsburgh. We went to support a couple who own Cuckoos Nest Magic Shop. We also rode the Duquesne Incline, checked out some of the sites where they filmed Jack Reacher and ate a late lunch at Nadine's. (By the way, if want to read about those events, you can click on the respective links.) One other place we stopped was at the Dor-Stop … [Read more...]
