Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

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. Each site had something unique to offer - and I am not talking about the different kinds of cupcakes. Whether it was jams and jellies, pictures and plaques or cheese and crackers, there was something unique to … [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...]

Cleveland Half Marathon? Challenge Accepted!

By

My sister, Randi, and her husband, Shaun, are people that once they commit to something, they are committed. That is something I admire about them. However, when they said they were going to tackle a half marathon, I thought they were crazy. You see, if you are new to my blog, I am on the opposite of athletic. In fact, if you see me running, you better run, too, because something is chasing me. (I stole that from Facebook.) But Randi and Shaun accepted the challenge to run the Rite Aid … [Read more...]

I’m Someone Special at Special Person Day

By

When my niece, Ashley, told me that my great-nephew, Noah, was having a Special Person day at his school and that he wanted me and Uncle Bobby, my husband, to come, I was thrilled. Bobby and I never had the opportunity to attend anything like this for any of our nieces or nephews when they were growing up. The closest I got was attending Candy Bar Bingo at our niece Courtney's, school in New Hampshire. Bobby and I took the day off to drive the 2 hours to go to Montrose Elementary School … [Read more...]

Daring to Dive on Cedar Point’s Newest Coaster

By

I have always loved roller coasters. The anticipation climbing the first hill to the exhilarating feeling on the descent to the twisting turns and loops and then the final screeching halt right before returning to the launching platform. They all get me. Even the worst roller coaster is still pretty good (just like pizza.) However, when I ride a really good coaster, the feeling lasts a little longer and I enjoy reliving it with friends. This is exactly what happened when I was able to be … [Read more...]
