I blame Kristin. When planning my trip to Charleston, I asked her for recommendations on where to eat as it seemed this southern girl from Nashville might know a few things about southern cities. She replied with a list of 19 places to check out. Nineteen! Charleston MUST have good food. And […]
What to do with 3 hours in Charlotte
It has been ages since I took a road trip. So I was secretly happy when I discovered that a flight to Charleston, South Carolina would cost over $400 and still take six hours of travel time. Looking at the map, Charlotte seemed the best place to stop. A big city I had never visited […]
TOSRV Day 2 – What drove me to finish
Approximately 2,500 people participated in TOSRV this year. I am not sure how many actually ride 105 miles back to Columbus the next day. Day 1 was challenging enough. I was exhausted when I arrived in Portsmouth. Many people hung out at Tracy Park where there was live music, food, and beer to celebrate. The […]
TOSRV Day 1 – Prayers and profanity
I told you I didn’t want to do it. I dreaded it even more because of the weather forecast. My alarm went off at 5am. I wanted to eat at least an hour before starting the ride and didn’t want to risk rushing and forgetting something important. TOSRV (Tour of the Scioto River Valley) is […]
The Pearl
It seemed as if the sign had been up forever, paper covering the windows. Who is this handsome newcomer? The lit-up sign and the name itself made me think it would be classy and comfortable and bring something special to the Columbus restaurant scene, in particular the Short North Arts District. I avoided the early […]
Random Nashville
I was only in Nashville for a few days, hardly enough time to get to know a city of its size. What did I expect of Nashville? I expected country music. I expected southern food of the high-fat, high-calorie kind. I got both. But I did not expect to be impressed by Nashville. After […]
Butter tasting, anyone?
When I hear that there is a “butter tasting” on a restaurant menu… …I get a little excited. I went to Nashville for a bachelorette party for a good friend from college. And we all know how to enjoy a good meal. My favorite butter (a phrase I never knew I would say) Thank you, […]
Stubborn and crazy
When I told people about the bike ride, they told me I was crazy. I didn’t even get that response when I told people I was quitting my job, getting rid of most of my possessions, and traveling solo in Latin America for over a year. Sure, people were surprised about my travel sabbatical, but […]
Breakfast in Nashville: pork and beer
Yep, that’s right. I finally left Ohio! It was only a long weekend, but it was a much-needed break from work and all about having fun with the girls. I arrived several hours before my friends, so I could do a little exploring on my own. And by EXPLORE, I mean EAT. What does […]
