Wednesday Weekend Windup {STEM, Birds, Campfires, Art and More}

Are you ready for the weekend? There are some really great family fun activities in the Chicago suburbs this weekend including Walpurgnisnacht with a campfire! There are some STEM events, bird fun, art events and more! Here are my picks:

Scenes Around German Village in Columbus, Ohio

On our last day driving back from Annapolis, we stopped for lunch at German Village in Columbus, Ohio. We visited German Village a couple of years ago and fell in love. With a little time to mosey along, we decided to stop. German immigrants originally began settling in the area in the mid-1800's so there is incredible character and history in German Village. It is truly a special place to visit.

Mixing It Up With Condado Tacos in Pittsburgh

On our way home from Annapolis, we stopped in Pittsburgh for dinner. We always make a stop in Pittsburgh on our way out to see my family or on the way back because we love the city and, of course, love this view:

April's Degustabox: Perfect for Road Trips

Spring is in the air which means it is time for road trips! This month, Degustabox had a road trip theme. So, our monthly Degustabox arrived full to the brim with road trip treats. When I say to the brim, I mean our box was quite full! Take a peek:

Eclat Chocolate in West Chester, Pennsylvania

Chocolate. Chocolate somehow always makes it way into our road trips. I wonder how? Could it be that I love locally made chocolate?  While in Pennsylvania visiting family, we ventured into Eclat Chocolate in West Chester. On a previous trip to Pittsburgh, I savored an Eclat bar I discovered at a local chocolate shop. So, I was thrilled to have an opportunity to explore Eclat's Factory Store!

Wednesday Weekend Windup {Earth Day, Food Trucks, Art & More}

Earth Day is here and there are plenty of events in the Chicago suburbs to help us celebrate! Here are my picks for the weekend including an art adventure and food truck event in addition to Earth Day fun!

Longwood Gardens: History, Nature and Treehouses

Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania is an intriguing blend of history and nature. The land has long been inhabited as indicated by Lenni Lenape spears that have been discovered on the property. Centuries after the first settlers inhabited the area, Pierre du Pont purchased the land and soon began cultivating incredible gardens which would be the foundations of what we see today.
