Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Wally Waffle Weally Wonderful

By

Summer is right around the corner, and it is already building up to be a busy one, primarily because Wendi's birthday is in June, and we went crazy this year. We did a lot of fun things (which you can read about here and here and here and here). One place we ended up was Wally Waffle in Akron. Little did we know we would arrive during some kind of Summit County stage festival, which meant we could not park by the restaurant. Instead, we had to go find a place to park on some side … [Read more...]

A Step Back in Time at Historic Berry’s Restaurant

By

Between the Clap Out from fifth grade for my great nephew, DeAveon and the VIP Charity Event at Cedar Point Shores Water Park, my husband, Bobby, and I took a detour into Norwalk. We wanted to eat at the historic, Berry's Restaurant. Because I was driving, Bobby was doing the searching for places to eat on our way to Cedar Point. We hadn't had lunch before DeAveon's Clap Out and we were hungry. We always like to try new places and Berry's sounded especially good, so we didn't mind a minor shift … [Read more...]

Holcomb’s Popcorn, Nuts & Ice Cream Now in Wooster

By

On the Saturday of my birthday week, my husband, Bobby, introduced me to a new ice cream place in Wooster.  This was not an official birthday celebration event, as both he and I were done celebrating. He was done on Thursday night; I was done on Saturday morning. However, whenever ice cream is involved, I really don't need a reason to get it. I think ice cream is one of the main food groups, at least it is in my house and chocolate is another! Holcomb's Classics Gourmet Popcorn and Nuts, … [Read more...]

Wendi’s Blog: A Summer Preview

By

When I was growing up in Revere, Mass., I loved watching on a Friday night the previews of the new Saturday morning cartoons coming out in the summer. Probably my favorite cartoon was Hong Kong Phooey. In the spirit of those beginning-of-summer previews, allow me to give you a glimpse of things we are anticipating on Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot this summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va_Rmpd3PZI Family stuff With our niece Ashley and her boys, DeAveon and Noah, spending a lot … [Read more...]

Michael Sonata: You’ll Swear He is Ol’ Blue Eyes Himself

By

When I happened upon the Boomer magazine in the entryway of Akron General Hospital in May, I had no idea what I stumbled upon. The magazine is geared to the Boomers in North East Ohio. (Boomers, in case you don't know, is a defined age group of people born between 1947 and 1962 -- or so.) I am not a boomer, but my husband is! I found the magazine interesting and informative. It also led me to discover a place called The Music Box Supper Club in Cleveland, … [Read more...]
