Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Spend a Few Minutes With Frank (Sinatra Impersonator)

By

I celebrate my birthday for a week, and while there have been a couple events already, Friday was the big kick off to my annual birthday week. Joined by my husband, Bobby, and my parents, Bud and Dolores Breese, we went to the Music Box Supper Club in Cleveland to watch Michael Sonata, a Frank Sinatra impersonator. Michael and his band were terrific. It is late on Friday; we just got home, and I wanted to give you a taste of a wonderful concert. Check out the video below of "New York, New York," … [Read more...]

Review: Bosco’s Pizza Kitchen in Wooster

By

Ever since my wife, Wendi, and I purchased a new Broil King grill from Home Appliance, with two Ohio locations in Lodi and Brunswick, we have been grilling out a lot more, and I have been on a grilled pizza kick, having made four grilled pizzas within the span of a week. However, I have been wanting to try Bosco's Pizza Kitchen again, and so Wendi and I ordered a pizza and wings for carryout.

Side Trips Provide Sites to See Within Our Sights

The trip to Pennsylvania was no different. While we were waiting for our tour guide, Mark Brugh, in Sharpsburg, Maryland, we walked … [Read more...]

Bobby Follows Father’s Roots to British Cafe & Pub

By

I go through life telling everyone I am an Italian. After all, my mother, Carmen, is all Italian, and my father, Bob Sr., is Heinz 57, a little bit of everything. His surname is English. There was a Richard Warren who came over with the Pilgrims to Plymouth, Mass., on the Mayflower. When I visited Plymouth Plantation as an elementary student, I was surprised to learn the Warrens were involved in cooking for the pilgrims. While I have no clue whether my family is related to the Richard Warren … [Read more...]

Visiting Civil War Sites via Greencastle, Pa. … Again

By

Back in 2014, Dream Theater (my favorite band), was playing outside Pittsburgh. My wife, Wendi, thought it would be nice to get me tickets so we could see the show (she is not a fan of the band, though she does appreciate their musicianship). While in Pennsylvania, we decided to visit Wendi's Uncle Jay and Aunt Kim in Greencastle first, then make our way back to Pittsburgh for the show a few days later. Wendi and I enjoyed visiting family and Civil War sites, namely Gettysburg. I have to … [Read more...]
