Niagara Falls

Celebrating Nature in Niagara

If activities revolving around nature are something that you enjoy during your vacations, then Niagara County is a fantastic place to stay. I’ve visited in the past and enjoyed a stay in a wonderful four star Niagara Falls hotel which was ideally positioned for making the most of nature in this beautiful area. My husband and…

Our Ride on the Maid of the Mist in Pictures

The Cave of the Winds wasn’t the only attraction that we enjoyed on our getaway to Niagara Falls. There was another attraction we were eager to visit, the Maid of the Mist. The Maid of the Mist operates from both sides of the border and was originally a ferry service to take people back and…

Surviving the Cave of the Winds

The last time my husband and I had traveled to Niagara Falls with any of our children, our oldest son wasn’t yet a year old and spent the day strapped to my husbands’ back in a baby carrier. Did I happen to mention that Nickolaus turned 19 in July? Yep. He’s grown quite a bit…

  • Before hubby's accident, one of his favorite things to do was to hike. Yesterday morning, he asked if I thought we could visit Mohican State Park. I know he's not up for that so we comprised with a picnic lunch at Gorman Nature Center in Mansfield followed by a walk to the edge of the woods from the parking lot. It was a lot for him, but that was his goal. I love his determination and so thankful to watch him recover more with every step he takes. . . . #livinglife #outdoors #naturetherapy #getoutdoors #spendtimeoutside #takeawalk #slowlybutsurely #destinationmansfield #ohiofindithere #ohio #optoutside
  • Did you know the B & O Bike Trail covers just over 18 miles from Mansfield, Ohio to the small town of Butler? It's a popular spot in Richland County for people to walk, run and ride bikes. Since it goes straight through Lexington and Bellville, it's also easy to hop off the trail for a break to grab coffee at @nickelandbean, an ice cream cone at The Dairy Belle or even something to eat at @brumbys_java_pie_guy. When was the last time you went for a bike ride?
  • I see the spires of St. Peter's Catholic Church each morning that I drive downtown to work at my co-working desk. I've passed by the church for years and marveled at the architecture, always wondering what it looked like inside. A few weeks ago, I joined #InsideRichland to take a peek. I wasn't disappointed. I learned quite a bit but I can't wait to go back for a full tour so I can share more. . . . #destinationmansfield #OhioFinditHere #ohiogram #ohio #ohioblogger #travelwriter #hometowntourist #architecture_lovers #architecture #mansfieldohio #midwestisbest #midwestmoments #tbin #mwtravel #midwest

  • Kingwood Center has long been one of my favorite places to visit in the city of Mansfield. When my kids were tiny, my husband and I would enjoy visiting so they could feed the ducks in the pond and seek out the resident peacocks. When they got older, we'd meet up for picnics with some of our homeschool friends. When my son went to prom, they got their photos taken by the fountains at Kingwood. We've toured the house, taken workshops and enjoyed many traveling exhibits at the estate. And the best part? It's so affordable for families! Cost is $5 for adults and free for those under 12. That includes access to the grounds, greenhouse and self-guided tours of the historic Kingwood Hall which was built in 1926. Have you visited this 47-acre estate? . . . #gardens #historicplaces #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #ohiofindithere #destinationmansfield #ohiogram #traveltagged #hometowntour #mansfield #ohio #mwmoments #midwestisbest #419 #explore #exploremore #discoverohio #familytravel #travelwriter
  • I have something to confess. I haven't always enjoyed living in my hometown of @destinationmansfield but you know that saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder?" I fully realized the meaning when my family moved out of the area nearly ten years ago. I not only missed Mansfield, I missed living in Ohio and was so excited to move home after only two years away. This weekend and into next week I will be sharing some of my favorite area attractions and in the process I hope to inspire you visit Mansfield. . . . This "Welcome to Mansfield" sign has greeted motorists since the summer of 2000. A favorite local icon, the sign was repainted last year and can be seen on the north end of town as you enter from State Route 13. . . . #destinationmansfield #ohiofindithere #ipulledoverforthis #roadsideamerica #travelusa #traveltagged #travelinspiredliving #travelwriter #tbin #discoverohio #midwestisbest #midwestmoments #mwtravel #instatravel #igersmidwest #igtravel #ohiogram #ohioigers #ohioexplored #ohiojourneys
  • 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
