Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Mohican State Park Lodge — A Place to Linger

By

Last weekend, when my husband, Bobby, and I went away for an overnight stay in Mansfield, Ohio, we took a detour to the Mohican State Lodge and Resort. I mentioned in a previous post that I knew I liked the place as soon as I walked in, but that I would tell you why later. (You can read my previous post here.) Well, it's later. I don't know if this has ever happened to you, but sometimes when I visit a location it just makes me want to linger. That's what happened Saturday. We walked into … [Read more...]

A Weekend Away: Never How I Plan, but Always so Much Better

By

When my company, The Village Network, announced that it was going to hold an Employee Appreciation Dinner and Dance on Valentine's weekend (February 11, 2017) and that we could get a discount on our room at the Holiday Inn in Mansfield, Ohio, I jumped at the chance. My husband, Bobby, agreed it would be a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day. However, I couldn't just go to the hotel and event and be satisfied. No, not me! I thought we could make a whole day of it. The plan was to do something … [Read more...]

Simon’s: Real New York Pastrami in the Buckeye State

By

This past Monday, February 6, I asked my husband, Bobby, for a favor. I had to go to downtown Cleveland to drop off a document for my company, so I asked him to drive me.  I really dislike driving to Cleveland. Even though it is closer than Columbus, I would rather drive there than go north to Cleveland. Because Bobby is fully awesome, he only hesitated for a moment. He agreed to take me, if I would do the driving back to Wooster so he could work. I agreed. Whatever it took so I didn't have to … [Read more...]

Great Ice Cream from A to Z’s

By

I lived in Medina County growing up. I moved back to the area, well close enough, by moving to Wayne County several years ago. However, I have never gone through Hinckley, Ohio at least not to my knowledge. That is until last Saturday, January 28, 2017. My husband, Bobby and I traveled to Walton Hills to Bedford Reservation with our dog, Owney. Both Bobby and Owney wrote about our adventures there, but I get the chance to write about our visit to Z's Cream and Bean. After a chance to walk … [Read more...]

Did We Just Get Authentic Philly Cheesesteak in Ohio?

By

Wendi and I have been very busy lately, with work, with the holidays, with our great-nephews and with helping to organize a marriage event. Because of our schedules, there has not been a lot of traveling done for this blog, just a whole lot of whatnot. But, Wendi remedied that Saturday when she let it be known she wanted to go do something for the blog. That something turned out to be a triple treat: Lunch at Original Steaks and Hoagies in Twinsburg, Ohio; a walk with Owney, our dog, through … [Read more...]
