We are the epitome of homebodies. Usually content to just come home and sit near each other for an evening of small talk, dinner, TV and computer time. Then off to bed.
Somewhere, I got it into my brain that we should do something. Not just one night, but two nights in a row...LATE NIGHTS. With work thrown in between. Now, we're not exactly old, but we do have our needs and one of them is sleep!
On the Friday before Halloween, we took Blaine and a few of his friends to see "Rocky Horror Picture Show." They had never been. He'd never even heard of it! Just the idea that I had done something that my kid had not was almost incomprehensible. These kids do everything, see everything, go everywhere. But I digress.
Thrown rice, flying toast and toilet paper and lots of guys in drag. What were my parents thinking? I could see it in his face. But they had fun! And they want to go back with more props and more friends!
On Halloween night, we visited Highball Halloween in the Short North Arts District in Columbus. We went unprepared. There were 15,000 people crammed into a few blocks, amazing costumes, but we didn't get to see it all! We waited by the stage for nearly two hours while they got ready for the costume contest. There were some very elaborate costumes! We stopped by Marcella's (great little Italian cafe' on High Street), picked up some salads and headed back to our hotel room. At 1:00 am!!! Yes, that's right. We ate dinner at 1:00 am! Of course we had a little wine with it!
Sunday morning, we packed up and headed for Hocking Hills to do some hiking. Did I mention that we took the dogs with us? And by the way, if you are traveling with your pets, this is the best website for finding those pet-friendly hotels!
OK, just to recap...Friday night Rocky Horror Picture Show and home around 2:15 am, worked Saturday morning (both of us) and up until 2 am on Saturday night, now on to do some hiking...Thank goodness for the time-change!
We visited Hocking Hills this past spring and absolutely fell in love with it. But from what we saw this time around, there is no bad time of year to visit this place. It is absolutely amazing!
Back to work on Monday! But wait! There's more!
On Wednesday night, we drove 2 hours away to see Daughtry and Theory of a Dead Man perform at the Cavelli Center in Youngstown, Ohio.
Needless to say, by this past weekend we were exhausted! Sunday afternoon was nap time and we took full advantage of it!
Hmmmm...let's see what we can get into this weekend!
