It has been a long and uneventful summer for me. My parents, Bobby and Wendi Warren, have been busy with other things, that we haven't really gotten out to try new things. At least they haven't done so with me, too much. Oh, sure, I get to walk around the neighborhood at least two times a day and there has been plenty of laying out in the sun, too. But to actually go any place...well let's just say I haven't been invited. I think Mom was starting feel a little guilty, because on Friday, … [Read more...]
Cedar Point: Fast Lane and Steel Vengeance Collide
I have been going to Cedar Point for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, my dad's company, Smucker's, would have their annual picnic there every three years. (They rotated between Cedar Point, Sea World and Clay's Park Resort.) I grew up riding the Blue Streak, Cedar Downs, the Mine Ride and all the others. We might only go once a year -- or maybe once every three years, but Cedar Point was the highlight of my summers. As an adult, I have't gone quite as often, until recently. … [Read more...]
Cleveland Museum of Art: Culture Well Within Our Reach
When my husband, Bobby, and I planned to do a day trip with his former co-worker, Linda Hall and her husband, Jon, we hadn't set any specific plans in place. (Jon and Linda are also the creators of Walking Ohio with Jon and Linda Hall.) The week before our scheduled outing, Linda contacted us with the suggestion of going to the Cleveland Museum of Art and a meal at nearby Little Italy. I couldn't remember if I had ever been to the museum and honestly, it never really was on my radar as a place … [Read more...]
Firenza Pizza proves to be a wonderful surprise
Anyone who has read this blog for any length of time should know by now I love pizza, and the pizzas Wendi and I had at Firenza Pizza in Sandusky proved to be a wonderful surprise. We didn't want pizza for dinner (well, actually Wendi didn't; I can eat it any time), and we had no idea we would be eating dinner in Sandusky. Wendi and I were on our way to Marblehead, Ohio, to get away for a little bit. Normally, we take a vacation in the summer, but we had visited North Carolina, Georgia … [Read more...]
The Big Apple — Oh, How I Missed Seeing You This Year!
O.K. I never, ever thought I would be sad to not have traveled to New York City in the summer. But after watching several of our friends post pictures on Facebook about their travels to the Big Apple...well, let's just say I was more than slightly jealous. Adding salt to the wound is just about every TV show we have watched lately have been filmed in NYC. Every establishing shot, either my husband, Bobby, or I will say, "We've been there." As a way to deal with my melancholy for not having … [Read more...]
