15+ Fun Roadside Stops to make on the way to Branson

The Traveling Praters presents Travel Inspired Living. I guess I’ve always thought of roadside attractions as a dying art but maybe that’s not true. There are plenty of roadside attractions popping up throughout the US in the name of public art. Last summer, I took a road trip with my mom and dad from our home in…

  • When was the last time you tried a new restaurant in your hometown? I admit that when I'm not traveling, I'm generally a homebody. That means I'm less likely to try something new and end up visiting the same places. I can get stuck in a rut. But that is about to change! My daughter and I have decided that each Wednesday, we will meet for lunch in our home town of @destinationmansfield. Today we met at @athens_greek_restaurant_mv in downtown Mansfield I really wanted a gyro but opted for hummus and a salad instead. The food was good, service was great and my daughter made it back to work well within her one hour break. Next time I'll definitely try something more traditional. It's a gyro & baklava for me. Do you have a favorite Greek food? 😊 . . . #ohiofindithere #travel #traveltagged #discoverohio #destiinationmansfield #exploremore #419 #travelinspiredliving #goodeats #lunch #lunchbreak #explore #hometowntourist

  • This week I spent time road tripping in Union County in search of covered bridges. The Pottersburg Covered Bridge (built in1868) is one of seven covered bridges and one historic steel bridge that can be seen along the Big Darby Plains Scenic Byway. . . . What attractions do you like to seek out when you road trip? . . . #roadtrip #ohiofindithere #Ohioigers #scenicohio #traveltagged #coveredbridges #visitunioncounty #exploreusa #exploremore #travelphotography #picoftheday #travelinspiredliving
  • The world's largest washboard hangs on the side of the Columbus Washboard Factory in Ohio's Hocking Hills region. This is the only factory in the U.S. to make handcrafted washboards. Stop by, take a photo with the 24-foot washboard that hangs on the side of the building then head inside for a tour to learn more about this company that has been in business since 1895. _______________________________ #ohiofindithere #myhockinghills #travelmoments #insearchofquirk #ipulledoverforthis #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #historicplaces #Ohioigers #ohio #hockinghills #roadtrip #travelusa #traveltagged #travelinspiredliving #explore #exploreusa
  • How many pictures do you generally take when you go on vacation? I'm still going through photos that I took on my last road trip. I took thousands on my quest to document our experience, and hundreds of those were taken at Driftwood Beach where my husband and I spent 3-4 hours (over two days) marveling at the view before us. Of all those photos, this is one of my favorites. It may not be dramatic like my sunrise photos but I love how it shows the scale of the fallen trees. If you enjoy taking photos, Driftwood Beach is a photographer's dream. 📷 _________________________________ #exploremore #tbin #travelinspiredliving #explore #americanroadtrip #mytraveldiary #travelinspo #travelmoments #traveltagged #traveler #travelusa #travelgram #exploregeorgia #picoftheday #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelwriter #jekyllisland #driftwoodbeach #roadtrip #travelphotographyoftheday #landscape
  • What does an awesome aunt like myself do when her teenage niece wants to visit? She takes her out for coffee and sweet treats before spending nearly two hours walking through one of the local cemeteries appreciating and photographing the old headstones and memorials. Some may consider this morbid but did you know cemeteries used to be a place where families would gather to relax and picnic? You could say they often resembled today's public parks.🌳 ____________________________ #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #cemeterylovers #cemeteryshots #ohiofindithere #Ohioigers #midwestisbest #itstheweekend #picoftheday #traveltagged #travelblogger #travelphotographyoftheday #optoutside #exploremore #explore #instatravel #instapic #torrid #destinationmansfield

  • It's not often that my husband gets time off during the week on a beautiful day. Those of you who live in Ohio will understand what I mean by beautiful though others may question my sanity since it was only 43 degrees outside. But compared to the much lower temperatures from earlier in the week, today felt like a heat wave and we made the most of it by stopping by Brandywine Falls in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Follow the signs from the parking lot to the boardwalk which ends at the falls. The view from the top of the falls is an easy walk and if you want to walk down some stairs (about 40 or so altogether) you can view the falls from closer to the base. Check out my story for a video of the falls. Have you been to Brandywine Falls or CVNP? _______________________________ #ohiofindithere #ohiogram #findyourpark #cvnp #brandywinefalls #travelinspiredliving #discoverohio #traveltagged #picoftheday #travelphotography #travelusa #roadtrip #getoutdoors #optoutside #naturetherapy #travelblogger #outdoors #outdoorsy #instatravel #ohio
