Columbus

October 7th – 9th

Tour My Town

This week my Uncle Hugh, Aunt Mary and Frank (their cat) were traveling through Ohio with their RV and decided to stop to visit for a few days.

Frank enjoyed a couple of days in my house as it always stays parked in the same spot.

Besides doing a some repair jobs around my house, Uncle Hugh, Aunt Mary and I had a nice couple of days seeing the sights around Columbus.

They saw the cement corn field in Dublin.


I also drove them around campus and we stopped to take photos at where else? Ohio Stadium!


We took in the sites of the Short North and North Market.

Followed by a behind the scenes tour of Nationwide Area – home of the Columbus Blue Jackets (NHL) and Columbus Destroyers (AFL). It is also where my friend Dave works.

We drove past the state house – none of us were up for a history lesson.

Then we went on to the Franklin Park Conservatory – which is one of my favorites. Not this time though. The exhibit was “Bending Nature” – we still have no clue what exactly it was supposed to be. Thankfully they still have permanent pieces from Dale Chihuly – I can see those over and over.


We have no clue what this is supposed to be – but Uncle Hugh and Aunt Mary looked cute inside of it.

We ate at a few of the local favorites – Thurman’s in German Village, Chef-a-nette in Upper Arlington and Cap City in Grandview.

It was a nice mini-vacation for all of us – I rarely take the time to explore and enjoy my own city.
