The Unusual Junction

A Touch of Nostalgia at The Unusual Junction and Lava Rock Grill

The Lava Rock Grill in West Lafayette, east of Coshocton touts itself as “Ohio’s most unique dining and shopping experience.” If you base that statement on the unusual and eclectic café interior, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a restaurant of its equal in the Buckeye State. I spent much of my tween…

  • Do you ever travel with your dog? 🐾Our dog, Vincent, is well-traveled. He's spent dozens of nights in hotel rooms and over a year and a half as a full-time RV pup in his younger years.🐶 He's grown up and aged a lot since then but if given the choice, he'll hop in the vehicle and road trip with us any day. We pack his favorite blanket, toy and necessities and make sure we make frequent stops so he can stretch his legs, sniff some objects and relieve himself. 🐕 . . . #travel #travelinspiredliving #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dogstagram #dogoftheday #igdogs #instadog #doglove #travelwithdogs #adventuredog #roadtrip #roadtripusa #midwestisbest #midwestmoment #midwest #havedogwilltravel #exploremore #exploreusa

  • Drury Inn for the win! #throwback🔙 to our family getaway to Cleveland just days before Christmas. It may have been our first stay at this hotel chain but it won't be our last. Not only does this property include food & cocktails at dinnertime which was a huge hit for my kids who are all 21+. 🌭🍹I admit, I may have enjoyed sipping a glass or two of wine as well. 🍷But the real hit for my daughter was the free coffee, soft drinks & popcorn that are offered throughout the day. 🍿Who could complain? It certainly wasn't us. . . . Have you stayed at a Drury Hotel?
  • Here in North Central Ohio we haven't had much snow this winter. It hasn't been very cold either and I can live with that. I'm not what you call a fan of wintry temps. Approaching my late 40's and a survivor of Lyme Disease, my joints ache when the mercury drops below 35 degrees. 🌡I'd much rather enjoy winter in Florida but since that isn't possible right now, I'll enjoy it from the warmth of my home or from my vehicle which is where I was when I snapped this photo last winter. I may not be a fan of playing in the snow but it sure is pretty.❄ Especially when you combine it with a covered bridge on Ohio's back roads. Are you a fan of winter activities or are you more like me and dream of migrating South for the winter? . . . . #ohiofindithere #ohiogram #traveltagged #travelinspiredliving #traveldeeper #ohio #backroads #exploremore #discoverohio #discovermidwest #MWTravel #tbin #discovermohican #instago #instatravel #instapic #photooftheday #picoftheday #travelphotography #travelusa #travelwriter #travelblogger #winter #landscape #landscapephotography #ohioexplored #myohioadventure #mytinyatlas #mytravelgram
  • I can't say that I'm glad 2018 is over. All in all it was a pretty good year. But 2019 is a fresh slate. An opportunity to create new memories with the ones I love. Reconnect with old friends. Make new friends. Experience new adventures. Serve more. Be intentional. I'm ready. . . . . #newyear #2019 #2019goals #thisisCLE #ohiogram #ohiofindithere #universitycircle #exploremore #getoutdoors #instatravel #traveltagged #travelinspiredliving #travelwriter #travelblogger #travel #travelusa #roadtrip #newyear2019 #MWTravel #midwestisbest
  • If you're looking for a glamping experience in NE Ohio, look no further than The Mohicans. My husband and I got a sneak peek of their newest treehouse addition this past week. It was such a perfect way to unplug and relax after the busyness of Christmas and gave us a chance to enjoy each others company and plan our next big adventure. . . . #GrandBarnWeddingCenter #TheMohicans #TreehouseVillage #BestTreehouseHotel #glamping #glampinginohio #glampinghub #treehousesinohio #treehouse #ohiogram #traveltagged #traveldeeper #unplug #travelinspiredliving #ohiofindithere #travelusa #roadtrip #travelwriter #travelblogger #instatravel #tbin #instago #mwtravel #midwestisbest #midwestmoment #discoverohio
  • What do you do when the temperature in December is unseasonably warm in Ohio? If you're like us, it means it's time to explore the nearby trails at Mohican State Park- one of our favorite state parks. Have you hiked this week? . . . #ohiofindithere #getoutdoors #optoutside #getoutside #ohiogram #ohio #travelinspiredliving #traveltagged #MWTravel #midwestmoment #midwestisbest #discoverohio #unplugged #takeahike #hiking #instatravel #instahike #outdoors #hikingadventures #travelblogger #travelwriter #sunset
