Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Owney: My First Hotel Vacation

By

Being the beagle terrier mix of Wendi and Bobby Warren, the creators of this blog, has afforded me plenty of new experiences in my life. From adventures on walking trails to visits to Put-In-Bay to lunch at Swenson's, I have done a lot. But until recently I had never been to an overnight vacation that included a trip to a hotel. Mom and Dad had talked about taking me on an overnight trip with them, but had never done it yet. So during a recent birthday week celebration, Mom decided that it was … [Read more...]

5 Things to Enhance Your Ark Encounter Experience

By

I believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God, without error. Every word, every person and every story are there for a reason.

Our friend, Ron Bridgewater, asked if Bobby would come out and do a magic show for their Fall Festival. Bobby rarely turns down the opportunity to perform magic, so we decided to take a long weekend and visit the area of Columbus, … [Read more...]

Carnival Cruise Impresses First Time Cruiser

By

I have never taken a cruise. They have always seemed appealing to me, but for someone who tends to get motion sick pretty easily (I can't even watch a home video without becoming nauseous), the idea of paying all that money and potentially being sick the whole time has prevented me from going on one. However, I enjoy listening to other people's experiences. If I can't do a thing, living vicariously through stories of others, well, that is the next best thing. I had the opportunity to do that … [Read more...]
