Travel. Food. Fun.

Trip to Almost Heaven Ice Cream was it Divine Intervention?

By

I don't know about you, but when I see the name of an ice cream shop "Almost Heaven" it seems like a sign that I should give it a try. That is exactly what my husband, Bobby, and I did during a recent trip to Canton, Ohio. We had traveled to Canton to visit the First Ladies Library and Historic site. After our tour we enjoyed lunch at John's Grill, but wanted something sweet to end our day. I did a search for desserts near us and that's when I found Almost Heaven Homemade Ice Cream it was … [Read more...]

3 Fun Things to Do Around Columbus, Indiana

By

I had never heard of Columbus, Indiana until late summer this year. It was when my husband, Bobby, told me that a former classmate of ours from Cincinnati Bible College & Seminary (now Cincinnati Christian University), preached at East Columbus Christian Church. 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...]

Sweet Moses in Cleveland is, Well, Sweet

By

I heard of Sweet Moses around Christmas 2017.

Turns out that the chocolates come from Sweet Moses Soda Fountain and Treat Shop! I was super excited to find this out. Ever since we went to … [Read more...]

The Village Point Parlor Worth a Trip to Hayesville

By

Earlier this summer, my good friend, Jan Maxwell, tagged me in a post on Facebook about a new place in Hayesville, Ohio, that served pizza and ice cream. Hayesville is a small village just a few miles off of US Route 30. It looked like a place I'd like to visit, but honestly, though, I never heard of Hayesville... and my husband, Bobby, and I travel that stretch of highway a lot. It is funny the things you miss along the way to somewhere else. So when Jan and I made plans to meet up to … [Read more...]

Ottaway’s Parkside Ice Cream Parlor — Ice Cream in the Family!

By

There are many fun things I get to do because I want to have things to write about on this blog. I have dragged my husband, Bobby, to all kinds of new places and he has done the same to me (when there has been a dry spell with no new content). One of the best things I get to do is go to ice cream shops. But you better believe there is something a little bit special about visiting one that is owned by a family member. A couple of years ago, my parents visited my Aunt Pam in Florida. They … [Read more...]
