When I learned that I’d be traveling to Chicago on business a few months ago, I was thrilled that I was finally going to be able to see the Chicago Bean, otherwise known by its formal name, Cloud Gate.  To me, the iconic stainless…

  • 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

  • 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
