Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

July 15, 2017 by Molly Maurer Leave a Comment

I absolutely love zoos! In fact, I think the zoos in Ohio are some of the best in the country. We’re so lucky to have three major zoos (and some pretty awesome regional zoos too). The Cleveland Zoo is my personal favorite, but I also love the Akron Zoo and the Columbus Zoo. I just […]

As a native Ohioan, I can assure you that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one of the best things to do in northeast Ohio! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame showcases artists of all different genres throughout its history – from its roots to present day – so if you have a […]

National First Ladies Library

August 28, 2014 by Molly Maurer 4 Comments

A Hidden Treasure The National First Ladies Library is a great place to visit if you’re going to be near Canton, OH. I’ve lived in the area for almost 20 years now, but I’ve never been until a couple weeks ago. I feel kind of cheated now after getting to experience all that the museum […]

Canal Boat Ride at Canal Fulton, OH

August 20, 2014 by Molly Maurer 2 Comments

Who Has Time To Vacation? Most everybody loves vacations. Unfortunately, vacations never seem to last long enough. Maybe one reason why people don’t get enough out of their vacations is because no one really wants to be completely separated from the rest of the world. I personally know plenty of people who would gasp in […]

William McKinley Museum

August 19, 2014 by Molly Maurer 1 Comment

I’ve mentioned in a couple of previous posts that my brother and I were homeschooled growing up. We didn’t have a ton of money to spend when it came to field trips, so we stayed pretty close to home. One of my favorite places to visit was the William McKinley Presidential Library and Museum, located […]

A weekend getaway to Delaware

August 6, 2014 by Karen Dawkins Leave a Comment

Small towns don’t get touted much as vacation destinations, but some — like Delaware, Ohio — deserve a visit. Besides its charming disposition, which you can read about in my previous post, a weekend getaway to Delaware is affordable and offers activities sure to create great family memories. I know we sure enjoyed living there! […]

Who says people can’t fly?

July 19, 2014 by Karen Dawkins Leave a Comment

On my Great Ohio Road Trip earlier this summer, I got to go zip lining at Hocking Hills Canopy Tours. While it’s not quite flying, it sure gets close! Forget about the harness and the zip cable and enjoy the rush! It’s an exhilarating “X-perience!” Save $53on a Disney World 4-Day Park Hopper! Hop through […]

Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH

July 11, 2014 by Molly Maurer 11 Comments

Are You Ready For Some Football? While on our Northeastern Ohio excursion, our group thought it would be fun to explore the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Although we’re all originally from the area, some of us had never been to the Pro Football HOF, and others hadn’t been there in years. […]

Meet Karen Dawkins

An avid traveler, I enjoy discovering new places: history, culture, and adventure. I love it all! Well, not bugs. I don’t like bugs very much, so I probably won’t visit a bug museum.
