We are celebrating Isabella's 6 month birthday today. Can't believe it has been 6 months since her birth. She is growing so big! She is beginning to crawl around the floor and get into everything!

The Ohio Theater is an old movie palace built in the 1920's. It's located downtown, across the street from the Statehouse. CAPA has restored the theater (and continues to do so), while specifically retaining the means for actually showing movies. Every summer, the CAPA movie series shows a variety …

The Legend of the Seas was my favorite cruise yet.  The ship was beautiful and the ports were better!  We met so many wonderful new people and learned so many new things.  I have a new appreciation for the world around me.  My quote on my profile that states "Don't travel thinki…

Where do I start?  Saturday, May 17, 2008, eight family members and myself participated in the Komen Race For The Cure through the streets of downtown Columbus, Ohio.  All of us dedicated our participation in celebration of my mother's life and others who have had life altered by bre…

After putting off packing for what seemed like weeks, we finally loaded up the suitcases into the car. We are driving to my old hometown to allow my sisters to drive us to the Detroit, MI airport.Excitement is high for both of us. Emilia has not seen her parents in well over 2 years, and of course …

Columbus Ohio   The trip to Columbus could be defined as spur of the moment and only a day long.  There were five places in Columbus, Ohio that I wanted to visit and only about 14 hours to see all of them.  My first stop was at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum as I am an avid m…

I have now held my first passport in my hands. Looking at its blank pages waiting to be stamped in various countries I have waited to visit since being a little kid flipping through my sister's passport book, filled with stamps from Israel, Poland, England, Ireland...She had told me stories about t…

We headed down early for the 3:30 p.m. kickoff.  We were lucky enough to be given tickets (THANKS to Dan's Mom and StepDad!).  After getting through the normal game day traffic madness, we parked in our usual lot benefiting either special Olympics or the OSU wetlands project.  We mad…

Various pictures from various places.

On Monday morning, we went to downtown and walked around, went to one of the riverfront parks and enjoyed the Irish parade. It was very cold where we were watching if, on the Broad street bridge, so after the parade we decided to go where we were indoors. We went to the Polaris Shopping Center, it …

The next part of the trip will be the longest one during the entire trip. I estimate about 10 hours from Karen's house to ours, so it's now 11:00am, time to hit the road! The drive through Indiana wasn't very exciting, mostly farms and lots of corn and soy beans. Most of Ohio was the same, except f…

So I landed in Columbus, collected my bags for the final time this afternoon, and headed outside to take a shuttle to my car.  Walked out of the airport to that wonderful searing 90 degree heat and humidity that I missed over the two weeks in Europe (almost made me appreciate our days riding i…

My oldest sister and I decided to arrive in the night hours, because Flogging Molly was the night-time band gig we were to see. They are an Irish rock band, and their combo style was very intriguing. We could hear them from within the food court, and we decided to sit and eat and have a listen…

Just an update on me and life in general.
