Where to go on a mini vacation….. :0)


Hey guys! Sorry I’ve been missing in action on here the last few days, but I hitched a ride with my hubby on a business trip.

He had to go to Toledo, Ohio for work, so the kids and I went along for the ride.  We stayed in the Hilton Garden in Levis Commons….a very quaint little place to stay!

We stayed so long, we ended up eating dinner.  I got the swedish meatballs and taters…yum yum!

It looks like you had a great trip, like you I like to sometimes escape from the routine everyday stuff.
What is it about those meatballs, never eat them at home but they are delicious in the store. I bet you came home with lots of things you never knew you needed. I always do.

Hey Missy....I remember you going up there last year. I really prefer short geta ways myself. We have even gone over night just to shop at IKEA too! In fact, it has been a year since I was there last...I feel the need to go again soon! Stop over and see my rejuvenated garage sale chandy! It just got hung yesterday. Stay cool!~Hugs, Patti

My aunt and uncle and cousins all lived in Toledo many years ago. I remember going there as a kid but I don't remember much else except that we played miniature golf one night. I was probably 9 or 10. I can be sure, though, that there wasn't an IKEA!
It sounds like you had a great time. It's always fun to visit a new place, isn't it?

Mini vacations are the best. Then you don't need another one right after it to rest up at home. ;D Denver is going to have an IKEA soon, so can hardly wait. Went to one in Oakland or San Francisco-can't remember which side of the bay it was on. ♥♫
