  • Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Wildroot Flower Co. in Marietta, Ohio. This is such a charming flower farm. After learning about the flowers and some of the care they require, I had the opportunity to make my own flower jewelry with the rest of the group. I could have crafted all day! It was such a fun and relaxing experience. Check out my Instagram Stories to see what else I'm upto while I'm in town. #visitmariettaoh #hosted - - - #exploremore #tbin #travelmore #ohiofindithere #myohioadventure #midwestmoment #discovermidwest #flowers #summer #instaflowerpics #ohio
  • The sun setting at the International Peace Garden. My husband and I had the opportunity to visit this attraction last week while visiting North Dakota. We spent several hours exploring the gardens, the chapel, the 9/11 Memorial and listening to the bells of the carillon. #NDLegendary - - - #roadtrip #landscape #travel #beautiful #sunset #gardens #internationalpeacegardens
  • The World's Largest Snowmobiling Turtle- minus the snow in North Dakota. I couldn't resist stopping to see this attraction a short drive from the International Peace Garden. #NDLegendary - - - #roadsideamerica #northdakota #tommytheturtle #midwest #discovermidwest #roadsideusa #roadtrip #roadsideattraction #quirkyart #exploremore #midwestisbest #midwestmoment #discoverusa
  • There are pink elephants scattered across the US and I may need to find them all. This one, Pinkie, can be seen at a Shell gas station in DeForest, Wisconsin near the Dells. The gas station sells Pinkie souvenirs- t-shirts, stickers, and magnets. #roadsideamerica - - - #roadsideattractions #roadtrip #pink #elephant #midwestisbest #midwestmoment #discovermidwest #travel #quirkyart #fun #drive #wisconsin
  • My love of roadside attractions and art collide at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. This fun stop in Minnesota was the perfect location for my husband and I to get out the vehicle and stretch our legs. #roadtrip - - - #sculpturepark #workofart #ipulledoverforthis #minnesota #discovermidwest #midweztmoment #minneapolisart #minneapolis #roadsideamerica #travel
  • Do you know many Norwegian families settled in Minnesota & North Dakota when they came to America? Today, my husband and I toured a replica of a stave church in Moorhead- just across the river from Fargo.
  • X marks the spot. Or does it? Rugby, North Dakota held the title of the Geographical Center of North America for decades until that title was contested, shifting the new geographical center of North America to a bar in Robinson. But the buck doesn't stop there as according to the NY Times, a geography professor from the University of Buffalo has determined the exact center to be in, well, Center, North Dakota. I bet you didn't see that one coming, did you? I can't help but think these early townsfolks had received a glimpse of the future when selecting their town name. Have you seen this piece of roadside Americana? #NDLegendary - - - #roadsideattractions #historybuff #midwest #sunset #historyhere #discovermidwest #northdakota #rugby #roadsideamerica #ipulledoverforthis #roadtrip #travelblogger #midwestisbest
  • We didn't have a lot of time to hike in the Badlands but the views we saw were breathtaking. If you plan to visit on a weekend, arrive as close to when the park opens as possible. Within minutes of arriving, my husband and I were treated to several animal sightings. #NDLegendary - - - #discovermidwest #findyourpark #landscapes #exploremore #takeahike #scenicview #ipulledoverforthis #midwestisbest #midwestmoment #nationalpark
