Christmas is over..Say it’s not so. Let’s relive it with a trip to the A Christmas Story House! Hip Hip Hooray! Yes, the actual “A Christmas Story” house is located here in Cleveland..Tremont to be exact! The house was purchased in 2004 and converted back to all its glory so fans of the movie could come and have their own Christmas Story experience! Although only the exterior of the house was used in filming A Christmas Story the entire inside…
Today I’m very much so regretting that I thought conditions weren’t bad enough for microspikes. I hike in California for goodness sake. I summit mountains that tower over the highest elevation in Ohio. I don’t need microspikes I told myself. I’m an avid hiker I said, this will be a walk in the park. I changed my mind quickly when I fell behind my hiking group because I could barely walk on the iced covered trail and they were just…
Lemon’s first snow hike and she made in back in one piece! Thank freakin goodness! I was worried about how the tiny monster would do in the snow and I’m here to report back that we finally found Lemon’s weakness. Turns out the pooch is a total freeze baby just like moi. (More on that later) We headed to the Cleveland Metroparks South Chagrin Reservations to check out two separate trails: Squaw Rock Loop Trail: A 0.6 mile loop hike bordering the…
What good is the warmth of summer without the chill of winter! -John Steinbeck Being born and raised in Ohio I can tell you that when the first snow hits you go through what I refer to as a honeymoon stage of your relationship with winter. The snow looks beautiful, you get a smile on your face thinking about fireplaces and hot chocolate, you even tell yourself that it doesn’t feel “that” cold. Well I’m happy to report that I’m…
Greetings from Winter Wonderland…or better known as North East Ohio. The first snow of every winter is just simply beautiful. There is almost no way to actually describe what the first snow of winter looks like, smells like, and feels like. It’s just so clean, so crisp, so pure and bright! But the novelty quickly wears off… remember snow only stays around when the temps are below freezing (that’s 32 degrees folks)..the salt and dirty snow gets on everything including but…

Vegas Baby! Heading on home and I had no clue we’d be traveling through Vegas when we started this trip. But when I figured out it was totally on the way home, I got super excited! A while ago I had heard about this desert artwork called Seven Magic Mountains. I’ve been wanting to go since. I had this place on my bucket list and knew if I was driving through Vegas I had to stop here…especially since it’s only supposed…
Wow!!! This place simply takes my breath away. I wasn’t exactly planning on stopping at Zion National park. I thought it’d take a different route… then last minute I decided to go.  I’m so glad I did. I can’t fully describe how this place makes you feel but there is something magical in the air. Some kind of nature escape peacefulness  that I’ve never felt before! Once again the Tiny Monster limited things but that’s a okay with me cause…
