From Places to Eat
Braddocks Inn Restaurant in Farmington, Pennsylvania
Sometimes it can be challenging to find a place to eat close to us. Monday was a case in point. Our friends Chris and Bill were visiting for a few days and we wanted a place to eat after work. We knew the Stone House Inn is closed on Monday so that was out. The …
Brusters Ice Cream in New Stanton, PA
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. …
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 …

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 …
