Go for lunch! Make sure you make a reservation, and get there early so you can get a window seat! The pricing is WAHHHAAAY better than dinner, and the food is still delicious!

AND THEY WON!

I went in early August, and it was my second time staying there, and since there had been a four year gap in time since the first stay, I realized I’d only stay here if it was a good deal on the room rate. It’s very gorgeous inside, with its high ceilings and antique furniture details. However, the staff are very menial, and are kind of standoffish and it didn’t feel like we were another two-hundred dollars in their pocket…

When you go, make sure you’re there for breakfast. I’m not really an egg eater, but they had the best omelet I’ve ever had! Even the toast was simply delicious!

I loved this place! All of the brick townhouses were absolutely gorgeous. They had lots of neat coffeehouses and shops to check out. Definitely a fun place.

Go to Cedar Point, people. It’s not that faraway and is far more entertaining.

If you had to pick between Giordano’s or Gino’s to get some pizza, I’d definitely go with Giordano’s. Although Gino’s had some delicious pies. I’m just sayin’.

Unfortunately, I still need a passport. I really need to get on that. Sadly, it’s necessary now. I’m thinking of going for my birthday with my mom and some friends.

I really hope this place is as beautiful (read: European) as it sounds.

My older sister is getting married next October, and my mom proposed that we three take a vacation in Colorado a week in advance, in the mountains somewhere. Now, I think that’d be a LOVELY way to start a busy time of wedding preparations.

Obviously, if you’re going to a state park, you bring good walking shoes. However, that was not the case from what I saw, even on the trails. I went on a twelve mile hike with my friend, and it was rough even with our hiking boots on.

Save the flip-flops for the shower, bring some walking shoes for the trails, and you won’t have blocks for feet in the morning.
