Wendi and I were headed to Berlin, Ohio, in order to check into the Berlin Grande Hotel to enjoy some time away and celebrate 21 years of marriage. I had an idea: Find a nice burger place and surprise her for lunch. Wendi loves burgers; the messier the better. I settled on Blazin' Burgers in Strasburg. The intent was to go there on Friday, we ended up there on Saturday afternoon. After a great stay at the Berlin Grande Hotel and some time in downtown Berlin, we stopped at Walnut Creek … [Read more...]
Super 8 Rewind: Reliving Movie Trip
I'm not sure I agree with John Denver, that West Virginia is almost heaven, but it is a good location for filming a sci-fi movie, specifically Weirton, WV. The movie was Super 8, an adolescent come of age, with a little B-Movie zombie action and a very misunderstood alien. It's a really fun movie to watch. When it came out in June 2011, I went to see it a couple of times in the theater and then when the DVD was released, I got that, too. Bobby enjoyed the movie, as well. Weirton is not … [Read more...]
Can you ever really leave Wayne County behind?
My wife, Wendi, the founder of this blog, helped me knock out two items on my alleged bucket list (I just call them things I want to do, but bucket list is -- or was -- so trendy) on my birthday in December: Go to Westside Market and Ohio City Burrito. Despite the fact that we had to leave Wooster and Wayne County to get to Cleveland, I discovered we never really left Wayne County behind. Marshallville Meats: The first sign of home came in Westside Market. While looking at all of the … [Read more...]
5 Things You Have to Do When in Boston
May seem silly, but the little bit of snow we got today made me think of a trip to Boston when we got snowed in. That made me think of all the trips I've made to the Boston area over the last 20 years. Since Bobby's family is from towns very near Boston, we go visit them almost every year. We usually do some sightseeing when we're there. Now, let me just say that this is definitely not going to be a comprehensive list of things to do. We've been going there all these years and we always … [Read more...]
Happy 2016: Lessons in Reflections
Bobby got a cold for Christmas and he decided to give it to me for New Year's. I've been struggling for a few days just to do the minimum required for getting by--you know eating, sleeping and going to work. However, on this first day of the new year, I wanted to reflect back on the awesomeness that was 2015. I started a blog! Is that not crazy?! It has been such a fun ride. I have gotten to see and do so many cool things. And now they are recorded for all time--or at least until the … [Read more...]
