Dan and I got up bright and early and drove down to Dublin.  As you can see from the pictures, it was FOGGY!  I had to drive pretty slow on the highway in a few spots.  It remained pretty foggy the whole way down.

Dan and I had arranged a room at a local hotel for the evening.  We parked close to the hotel and scoped out the parade route.  We were lucky it was a relatively warm day for the middle of March in Ohio.  Seeing that no one was really crowding the streets yet, we decided for a quick breakfast at the McDonalds right there on the parade route.  It was crowded there.

After a fresh coffee, we stood at our places.  We were at the very start of the parade.  Everyone was in a generally upbeat mood.  The parade was very nice.  Being an election year, we were handed MANY "Vote For Me" flyers and shook many hands.  You can see some parade highlights from the pictures.  The parade lasted a little over an hour.

After the parade, we walked uptown to one of the pubs to listen to the Capp City Pipes and Drums.  They are very good.  I settled in with a pint and listened to them play.  We were a bit disappointed that they only played about 45 minutes.  They didn't go anywhere after that.  So, we finished up our pints and walked around in search of more frivolity.  But, we soon found out that after the parade, the town is pretty much done with their celebrations.  Everyone packed up and headed home.  It was barely 2:00 p.m.  We called the hotel to cancel because we figured we'd drive home.

We stopped first to eat at a restaurant called Jason's.  If I had to list my top five favorite meals ever, the seafood pasta dish I had at Jason's is right up there.  I would make a trip back to Dublin just for that dish again.

We'll probably go back down for the parade again next year, we were just a little sorry to see there wasn't more celebration.  It was a VERY nice parade, though.

When I was driving down the road. Than I notice that there were a rainbow on my left. So, i throught it look really cool and nice to see a rainbow along with the farm. This farm is own by Ohio State University. OSU Students study wild animals like cows, horses, chickens, and more.

Just as their slogan says - "A Fast, Fun, Friendly Neighborhood Tavern." While in the Dublin, Ohio, area, we found this neat looking little corner restaurant. After deciding to give it a try, we are so glad we did! This location was located in a strip mall just off Avery Road and Route 33 in Dublin, Ohio. We were warmly greeted upon entering the building, and seated in one of the many booths by all the large screen TVs. The bar is located in the middle of the building, and seemed to be a favorite for some locals to hang out! Why not, there were several TVs playing college hoops or other sports related programs! Cassie greeted us, took our drink orders, and answered some questions we had about the menu. She was very knowledgable about the menu items and drinks. There were several micro brews listed, and when asked about a couple, Cassie brought a sample to the table for us to try. It was just as she described! This restaurant is a beer lovers kind of place! Lots of ales and imported selections along with some micro brews are available. They also serve a nice selection of wine and mixed drinks offering a daily drink special. On the menu, their signature items were designated with in a yellow box and a bucket. Typical items such as Fish and Chips, deep fried pickles, a variety of sandwiches, and so much more are marked their specialties. We found the prices to be average compared to other similar restaurants. The food is excellent! It arrived well presented, generous sized portions, hot and tasty! The atmosphere is that of a sports bar. Pictures, signed jerseys, and local high school, college, and professional sports items hang on the walls. With close proximity to the Muirfield Village Golf Course, of special interest are Memorial Golf Tournament players' autographs and pictures. Everyone was so friendly! If you had questions, they were promptly answered. Smiles everywhere! Employees seemed to really enjoy working there! For a relaxed, fun place to eat, I would highly recommend the Rusty Bucket Corner Tavern. It was our first visit, but certainly not our last!
