The day the tandem broke, our first day of riding in Holland, we rewarded ourselves for making it back by eating at Dune Dogz. Dune Dogz is a nice little fast-foodish place just next to the state park. Perfect for campers who don’t feel like fixing lunch or supper one night while they are camping. …
From Places to Eat
Waverly Stone Gastropub and Garen Huis Yarns
On the day we visited Windmill Island Gardens, Tom and I ate at Waverly Stone Gatropub and visited Garen Huis Yarns. Although Tom and I enjoyed Windmill Island Gardens very much, we were done there by noon. So we decided to ride the tandem to downtown Holland, Michigan, and check it out. We wanted to …
Youngs Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs, Ohio
When we finished walking around the New Boston Fair, Tom, John, and I decided to eat lunch at Youngs Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs instead of at the New Boston Fair. Youngs Jersey Dairy is 14 miles from George Rogers Clark Park and we were interested in being in a dry place with 21st Century …
Bookending the Summer Season at Lakeside
Tom and I have enjoyed our summer and we are coming to the end of it. Appropriately enough, we are bookending the summer with visits to Lakeside, Ohio. Lakeside is a place with a lot of memories for us. It has always been a place that we have shared with my parents. Most years we …
Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen in Mansfield, Ohio
Mom and Dad recently took us to one of their new favorite restaurants, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen in Mansfield. Tom and I had eaten there once before when we met our friend Deborah in Mansfield. But that was before I started writing my blog, so I decided Cheddar’s was good enough to mention here. Unlike the …
Huli Huli Tiki Lounge in Powell, Ohio
Huli Huli Tiki Lounge in Powell is a little taste of Hawaii in the middle of Ohio. I had noticed the Tiki Bar part when we would drive through Powell on our way to John and Jackie’s. On a recent visit, I asked if they had eaten there yet. They said they had, but would …
Silohs Restaurant in Marcy, Ohio
Last Wednesday Mom and Dad took us to lunch at Silohs Restaurant in Marcy, Ohio. They had been wanting to visit the Slate Run Farm because they have lots of memories of doing the same kinds of thing on the farm we were doing. Mom and Dad both grew up on farms in Ohio. Even …
Salt Creek Café and Creamery in Fredricksburg
For our break from warping on Wednesday, we ate lunch at the Salt Creek Café and Creamery in Fredericksburg, Ohio. My aunt and uncle read the blog regularly and they know we like to try new restaurants and especially try new ice cream places. When they knew we were coming to work again on the …
Forrys Drive In in Wellsville, Pennsylvania
Everyday when Tom and I went to and from my Overshot class, we drove past Forrys Drive In. It’s one of those local, small town, ice cream and burger stands that we all remember so fondly. It was packed every afternoon when we drove by at 5:30, and we decided someplace the locals liked so …
Maple Donuts in York, Pennsylvania
After we ate at Mission BBQ in York, Pennsylvania, Tom and I walked down the shopping strip to Maple Donuts. I wanted to try some local donuts and get some to take to Overshot class the next day. Maple Donuts is a York staple. Charles Burnside started making donuts in 1946 and selling them to …
