Pleasant Hill Trail

Hike the Pleasant Hill Trail at Ohio’s Mohican State Park

Mohican State Park is one of my family’s favorite warm weather attractions in North Central Ohio. When my kids were younger, we’d make frequent trips to the state park to view the Clear Fork Gorge Overlook, climb the stairs of the Fire Tower and hike two of our favorite trails; Big Lyons Falls and Pleasant…

  • 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.

  • "I think one of the first things to go as people's lives start to go down is their dreams. Dreams should be the last thing to go - dreams are the things you go down with. If you're left clinging to a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean, I'd put on it the word dreams." ~ Kevin Costner ______________________________ Have you let go of your dreams? Or are you chasing them? I spent a lot of time thinking during my two week #vancamping trip. Thinking about my purpose in life. My dreams. Things that hold me back from reaching those dreams and fulfilling that purpose. As I walked along the beach, I thought of the little things that distract me from the big picture and keep me drifting, pulling me off course. I don't have all the answers but I did walk away knowing that I need to put God first and not keeping him in the backseat. I walked away inspired, more committed to get back on track, to get things done, stay focused and kick fear to the curb. I'm ready to live that Purpose and chase those dreams!

  • We stopped at the @pearlfryartopiarygarden on the last day of our van camping trip. I had hoped to meander the grounds with my husband but we got into a fight just as we pulled up so he wouldn't go with me. His loss. I wouldn't have missed the opportunity to explore. Walking along the grounds helped me calm down a bit so by the time I was back to the van, I was excited to share with my husband what he had missed. 😂😃 _____________________ Please tell me we're not the only ones to get on each other's nerves when road tripping. ______________________ #discoversc #pearlfryar #topiary #mastergardener #travelstoked #traveltagged #insearchofquirk #ipulledoverforthis #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #southcarolina #topiarygarden #backroads #roadtrip #tbin #travelinspiredliving #travelusa #instatravel #picoftheday #travel #landscapephotography #publicart #roadtrippers #atlasobscura #roadtripvibes #exploreusa #explore
  • Can I let you in on a little secret? My husband and I recently visited Key West and I didn't love it. But what I did enjoy was driving along the Overseas Highway and pulling off on the side of the road when it was permitted to photograph the pelicans, iguanas and beautiful turquoise water. I also enjoyed hanging out and relaxing in the @fl.stateparks along the way. Key West may not have been our cup of tea but there were plenty of other spots to explore and we'd love to return when some of the state park campgrounds reopen so we can explore more. _______________________ Have you been to the Florida Keys?
