Road Trip Attraction: Concrete Field of Corn Dublin, Ohio #OhioFindItHere #DublinCVB #expcols

March 29, 2018 By Thaleia 4 Comments

Riley and I went on a couples road trip to Columbus last Spring and have yet to share our adventures. Today I am sharing with you an Ohio oddity located in Dublin, Ohio called Field of Corn which makes for a great stop on a road trip to Columbus. I had first heard about this Field of Corn from Tonya Prater of Travel Inspired Living!

Since this road trip attraction is free and open to the public I knew that we would want to check this Concrete Field of Corn out for ourselves. We drove up to the location and were quite surprised at how precise the rows of corn cobs had been erected. I can envision our children running through the rows and around the corn cobs playing tag or hide and seek!

Barn Quilts have popped up quite a bit over the last decade or so. Many times they are created for a specific purpose like a Centennial or Bicentennial celebration. Each Barn Quilt design has a name and some have their own story behind the reason a particular design was chosen!

How to Make Road Trips Memorable

March 14, 2017 By Thaleia 4 Comments

I long for a good old fashioned road trip. You know the kind where you have a final destination in mind but have not planned every detail or every moment because you want to really enjoy the trip. My husband remembers taking a few road trips with his mom and some family members from time to time growing up. He retells of seeing a sign for an unusual attraction or roadside diner and pulling off to see what adventure awaits.

How do you plan to make your future road trips more memorable?

I think I tend to want to rush to our destination to get the car ride over but I do long to stop at Historical Markers or see that unusual site to be had. We often get out the door much later then I plan which makes everyone rushed. Hubby and I have talked about pouring tired kids into the car so early in the morning that we have to eat breakfast on the way. This would give us time to stop a few extra times and not be bored at the ride but be excited for the journey.

I have been thinking of ways to make our road trips memorable and since I am a planner I thought of some things that I can look up before we hit the road.

Reasons to Make Pit Stops a Priority on Road Trips

If you are planning a road trip then you just might want to consider these reasons to make pit stops a priority. Even Sally Clarkson in her book The Lifegiving Home talks about the importance of pit stops!

The first rest area in a state has hotel coupons and tourist guides.

If you are headed far from home you may need some guidance as far as hotel stays or nearby attractions. While most of our trips are planned way in advance due to them being press trips occasionally we take an impromptu getaway where this tip is very useful.

Put in Bay Road Trip

July 13, 2015 By Princess

I know that I already shared pictures and posts about our recent trip to Cedar Point and Put-in-Bay BUT not in a fun Road Trip style like this. If you are from Ohio or going to be in Northwest Ohio then you should really check this out!

Originally I had planned on stopping in Findlay, OH at the McDonald’s that has an outdoor PlaySpace BUT the weather was cold and very wet! With that plan shot out of the water we stopped in Lima to go through 3 different drive-thrus in order to get the food everyone wanted and get potty breaks, lol.
