Bison at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park

By on November 28, 2011 in Educational, Exercise, Fall, Play Outdoor, Spring, Summer, Winter

The days following Thanksgiving were just gorgeous! We felt as if the weather was beckoning us outside, so we took a hike to see the bison at Battelle Darby Creek. The park is located in Galloway – about a twenty-five minute drive from I-270 and Sawmill Road…fyi, currently there is construction on the freeway. Just [...]

Menchies in Dublin, OH

By on November 3, 2011 in Birthday Planning, Fall, Food, Spring, Summer, Winter

Thank you for coming back into my life, frozen yogurt cafes. I have so missed places such as Yogurt Oasis and TCBY (I know TCBY is still around, but doesn’t count if it is in a gas station or airport).  The new cafes are even better, though, because I get to serve myself. Frozen yogurt [...]

Olentangy Indian Caverns in Delaware, OH

By on September 11, 2011 in Birthday Planning, Educational, Exercise, Fall, Play Outdoor, Spring, Summer

I hadn’t been to the Olentangy Indian Caverns since a 4th or 5th grade field trip, and remember being impressed. As an adult, the visit was even better.  A friend and I recently took our kiddies, and found there was much more to do than squeezing our bodies through underground rock formations. They had mini-golf, [...]

Hocking Hills’ Old Man’s Cave in Logan, OH

Hocking Hills’ Old Man’s Cave in Logan, OH

By on August 22, 2011 in Educational, Exercise, Fall, Play Outdoor, Spring, Summer

I forgot how close Hocking Hills was to Columbus. For some reason, I thought it was a two hour or longer trip, but it isn’t. Drivetime is only give or take one hour twenty minutes. This means hiking in one of the most beautiful places in Ohio can be a wonderful family day trip (especially [...]
