Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Falling for Brandywine Falls

By

Since I saw a Facebook post about the best waterfalls in Ohio, I have been looking forward to nice weather so I could start visiting them. Finally, Saturday, April 16, 2016,  I got the opportunity to at least see one.  We visited Brandywine Falls at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Sagamore Hills Township. On our drive there, Bobby read to me the blog Linda Hall wrote of her and her husband's hike to the falls. Her blog talked of taking a lengthy hike in which she eventually made it … [Read more...]

Blogging, Beaches and Bistros: Myrtle Beach-Style

By

Guest Blog Almost before I could get the question out of my mouth, the answer was YES! Exhilaration followed! Before embarking on a last minute 50th birthday celebration vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC., I asked Bobby Warren if he was interested in a guest blogger for his wife's blog. He answered YES. Well, he answered for Wendi anyway. So, Wendi, I hope I don't hurt your ratings too much! No matter what time of year you visit the coast, there is one thing for certain; you get hungry! … [Read more...]

Abracadabra It’s Magical

By

My favorite magician of all times, is my husband, Bobby Warren. He thankfully doesn't make this his full time job. (Have you any idea how much traveling full time magicians do?) However, because of his continual practice and training of the art, I have had the opportunity to see many magicians perform. Most recently I was able to see Scott Humston perform. This was on Sunday, March 13, 2016. He was performing at the Church of the Nazarene, in Wooster,  OH.  Bobby and Scott met at a … [Read more...]

Guess Who is On Call 24/7? My Husband, the Reporter

By

I have watched plenty of doctor and cop shows on TV in my life.  (I'm a couch potato at heart.) I have learned through the years that people in those professions are basically on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What I never knew was that this is the same mentality that a newsman has.  Or maybe more to the point, my newsman, otherwise known as my husband, Bobby, has. He ended up at a meth lab bust Friday night. I can't tell you how many times we have had to postpone our plans because … [Read more...]

Tonight We’re Gonna Party Like its 1878

By

Wendi and I were in Lodi on March 4, 2016, when I received back-to-back calls from the Wayne County commissioners' office informing me construction workers at the courthouse had found an elusive time capsule and at 2 p.m. it would be removed from the vault where it has been secured since 1878. For a newsman, this is serious business, but March 4 is not your ordinary day in my household: It's our anniversary date. The journalist in me wanted to head back to Wooster and be there to shoot … [Read more...]
