Journey with us ‘in a sense’ on our fun travels!
Koblé Restaurant & Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
Last Friday, we had a date night in Powell, Ohio to visit the Columbus Zoo Lantern Festival and stopped for dinner beforehand at Koblé: Greek-Italian-Grill. It was a rainy evening, but the rain subsided at the most convenient times. The restaurant was recommended...
Cabin in the Woods, Hope Iron Furnace, & Lake Hope
We took a two-night getaway in the woods to New Plymouth, Ohio last week with our dogs and enjoyed time fishing in a private pond and being in such a peaceful and natural environment. Immense large-mouth bass were in the pond, but we were not able to catch any; we...

Saturday, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Newark-Heath Airport Treneff Field located in Heath, Ohio for their celebration in completing the Licking County’s new airport terminal. We saw up close the ‘Wings of Flight’, which highlighted military, corporate, and...
Vinyl, Home Style Dinner, Shopping, & Perkins Observatory
We started the weekend off right by stopping at Used Kids Records in Columbus; we did not purchase anything, but it was still fun to look around. Next, we stopped to eat a scrumptious home-style dinner and browse the “old country store” at Cracker Barrel in Sunbury...
“The Addams Family” at Weathervane Playhouse
At the beginning of August, we spent a night at the theatre in Newark, Ohio’s Weathervane Playhouse. “The Addams Family” proved to be a dark comedy musical with a creatively quick, functional, and eye appealing set design. The actors all seemed to be having a good...

Serene Sunday in Coshocton, OH
With an early start to our day, we took a little trip to Coshocton Lake Park in Coshocton, OH to fish. We arrived a little after 8:00 am and fished at the first lake for a bit and then moved onto the second lake after walking in the tunnel under the overpass, passing...
Motts Military Museum & Little Italy Ristorante
Last Saturday, we took a road trip to Groveport, Ohio to visit Motts Military Museum for the first time. We found the amount of artifacts on display most impressive! Historic pieces dating back to 1776 up through modern day are included in this diverse museum. Some...
Exploring Indiana & Ohio
We took a weekend trip in early June to visit a dear friend of mine in Wabash, Indiana. We learned that Wabash was “The first electrically lighted city in the world!” and enjoyed the historical architecture and community and cultural offerings during our stay. Our...
May in Maine, Vacation Days 5 & 6: Searsport, Bangor, New Harbor’s Pemaquid Lighthouse, Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor

May in Maine, Vacation Days 3 & 4: Searsport, Camden, Port Clyde, Belfast, Bucksport, Ellsworth, Southwest Harbor, & Bar Harbor, ME
After a restful sleep, we woke up in Searsport, ME and visited Moose Point State Park. Even though being closed, as they actually do not open until the day after Memorial Day, the park ranger said we could walk through if we like and we were able to soak in the nature...
May in Maine, Vacation Days 1 & 2: Bangor, Brewer, & Searsport, ME
Maine was our big vacation destination this year; we purposefully chose off-season due to not wanting to deal with crowds of people and busyness. We went to Maine before Memorial Day weekend and were very pleased to see and enjoy such a beautiful state in the...
