Visiting the Oklahoma City National Memorial in Pictures

April 19, 1995. 9:02 a.m. The moment of one of the worst domestic terrorist attacks in the US. The moment that changed Oklahoma City and a nation forever. The moment when a fertilizer bomb went off at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Hundreds of people were injured, and 168 were killed,…

The World’s Second Largest Gator Roadside Attraction in Kissimmee Florida

Update: Sadly, this roadside attraction is no longer standing. It was demolished in 2014.  This roadside attraction found at 4580 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy in Kissimmee, Florida was once the World’s Largest Gator but thanks to Gatorland in nearby Orlando, it is now the World’s Second Largest Gator. Still, an impressive title if you…

  • 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
