Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

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...]

Great Date Night: Wadsworth, Ohio Edition 

By

I should start my post with explaining that any time I get to spend with my husband, Bobby, it is always great. However some times the best dates aren't planned, but just turn out great. That is exactly what happened on Sunday, July 3, 2016 in Wadsworth, Ohio. The date actually started when we went to our friends, Thomas and Jessica Robinson's house for a quick visit. While there Jessica showed us around. She and Thomas had moved in at the beginning of the year, but were doing renovations … [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...]

P. Graham Dunn in Dalton: A Place Where Beauty Abounds

By

I like to visit places that are beautifully decorated. I think I appreciate them because I lack the natural talent for creating beauty. I definitely think it takes an artistic eye to make a room pleasing to the senses. Therefore, visiting P. Graham Dunn during the recent Cupcake Tour, was a real pleasure  for me. It all begins when you drive into the complex. I say complex because it is so much more than just a store. The driveway is lined with light posts and banners that are very … [Read more...]

Jerry’s Cafe: Are These the Best Burgers in Orrville?

By

Back in April, when Bobby and I attended the Inaugural Cupcake Tour, we decided to end our adventure by grabbing a late lunch (or early dinner) at a restaurant in Orrville, Ohio. We really enjoy Ming Hing's lunch buffet, but it was too late for lunch. Our friend, Jessica Robinson, had told us about Jerry's Cafe. She said that they have really good burgers. The truth is that they advertise their burgers as the "best in town." Given my propensity for red meat, especially for burgers, I had to give … [Read more...]
