Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Marie’s:  Serves up a Tasty Pizza Pie

By

I have been to Marie's in Wadsworth once or twice, but my husband, Bobby, never has. He has heard from several people that it is a good restaurant, but things never worked out for him to try it. That changed on Sunday, July 3, 2016, when we went on our impromptu date, which you can read about here. Even though we had just got done eating dessert at Subzero Ice Cream and Yogurt, that did not stop us from being enticed to order an appetizer before our pizza. The picture and description of … [Read more...]

Subzero Ice Cream: It’s Magic!

By

I'm not that complicated of a girl. I like good ice cream. I like trying new things. I like adventures. I love spending time with my husband, Bobby. So when you wrap all that up into a date, you're talking about a real winner. That is what happened on July 3, 2016, when we took an impromptu trip to Subzero Ice Cream & Yogurt shop in Wadsworth, Ohio. Alright, I have to be honest (I am my mother's daughter) I have experienced something like Subzero Ice Cream before. It was on a trip to … [Read more...]

Condado Tacos in Columbus es muy bueno

By

When Wendi and I traveled to Columbus back in April for Special Persons Day at the elementary school where our great-nephews attend, it turned into a two-fer for us. We had a chance to spend some time with DeAveon and Noah, and then share a meal with Wendi's cousin, Danny, who was attending The Ohio State University at the time (he has since graduated with both his bachelor's and master's degrees). We settled on a place I had heard only good things about: Condado Tacos. While Wendi and I … [Read more...]

Hartzler’s Family Dairy: Wholesome, Good Ice Cream

By

I don't know how many times I have driven north on State Route 3 out of Wooster, but rarely is there a time (during business hours) that Hartzler's Ice Cream Shoppe has an empty parking lot. I am usually on my way somewhere, so I haven't been able to stop by to try them at the shop. (I do visit them during the Wayne County Fair.) That is until Friday, June 24, 2016, which was due to the fact that my brother-in-law and sister-in-law came for a visit. My husband Bobby's brother,  Carmine, … [Read more...]

A Pleasant (and Filling) Evening in Richmond, Virginia

By

This should be the final installment of our Richmond, Virginia trip (but Bobby informs me it won't be, because we did stop in Charlottesville, VA on the way home). For those of you just joining us, my husband, Bobby and I took a whirlwind road trip to Richmond so that we could visit the set of Mercy Street, a PBS/Lone Wolf Media medical drama that centers around the Civil War. Bobby was interviewing Dr. Tony Tizzano for The Daily Record. I went just to cross it off of my bucket list. The … [Read more...]
