One of the first questions I ask the rangers when we start working at a new park is “Where is the best ice cream?” This may not be in your top ten list of questions, but I like good ice cream. Any occasion is the perfect excuse for ice cream. Not everyone shares this opinion. …
From Places to Eat
Helens Asian Kitchen Restaurant in Columbus, OH
One of the joys of working in western Pennsylvania is being able to go home for one of our “weekends.” Tom and I lost no time in taking advantage of the proximity and went home our third “weekend” in Pennsylvania. We headed first to Columbus for dinner with John and Jackie. Knowing how much we …
Stone House Restaurant and Inn, Farmington PA
Last Sunday, Tom and I were planning on working, going to Dairy Queen for supper, going to church, and going grocery shopping. Our usual Sunday program. But, about 4:15 our plans suddenly changed. Cheryl and Megan Spade walked into the Fort Necessity Visitors Center. We’ve known Cheryl since our boys were 3 years old and …
Falls Market Restaurant in Ohiopyle, PA
One of the first things we need to do when we move to a new place is start checking out restaurants. I ask all the rangers for their favorites in the area and get some good recommendations. Then, when Tom and I are exploring, we stop by about one per week to try. The first …
Paul Revere Restaurant in Lexington, Ohio
I have one last post about Ohio before I move on to telling you more than you ever wanted to know about southwestern Pennsylvania. One of the places we eat frequently with Mom and Dad is Paul Revere Restaurant in Lexington. But, although we eat there frequently, I have never written about it. Paul Revere …
Bella Bleu at Water’s Edge in Ashland Ohio
On our only “adventure day” during this trip to Ohio, we drove with Mom and Dad up to Ashland to meet my Aunt Anne and Uncle Paul. Mom and Dad had a new restaurant they were eager to show us. So we all met on a Wednesday at 12:30 at Bella Bleu at Water’s Edge …
BJs Brewhouse in Miamisburg, Ohio
While we were visiting Steve and Amy in Dayton, we had to (of course) try someplace new for dinner. Steve and Amy suggested BJs Brewhouse and we were all in favor of it! Tom and I had seen BJs Brewhouse other places in Ohio, but had never eaten at one. Steve and Amy suggested it …
Atlas Tavern at Polaris in Columbus
We are now back in Ohio which means lots of eating out with friends and family. John and Jackie are always on the lookout for new restaurants in Columbus. No shortage of those. So our first night back in Ohio, they suggested we meet them at Atlas Tavern at Polaris. Atlas Tavern is part of …
Pirates House Restaurant, Savannah Georgia
When Tom and I spent the day in Savannah with Caitlyn, we ate at the Pirates House Restaurant. It was as far east as we were walking in the historic downtown area. So we walked all the way east, ate lunch, and then made our way back west. The Pirates House Restaurant includes the oldest …
Brogens North on St Simons Island
Tom and I haven’t been trying many new restaurants on St Simons Island. We have returned to some that we enjoyed before: Barbara Jean’s, Frederica House, Frederica Cafe, Dairy Queen, and Certified Burger. Unless we are joining someone else, we just don’t eat out that often. In February we joined the other volunteers here at …
