We got to sleep in today which was nice since I worked for over five hours last night to catch up on everything so that I have less to do when I’m back in the office Wednesday. There were some shipwrecks I had to tend to and we’re slowly trying to figure everything out.
We got ready and drove an hour away to Grove City. We had breakfast sandwiches and coffee at Beans on Broad. This is an adorable coffee shop place with two stories worth of seating and free internet connection.
They also sell little knickknacks people make which I thought was nice. Everything tasted delicious, even their little breakfast sandwiches. If I lived here I’d come here a lot.
We drove the ten minutes to Keystone Safari. The total for admission and four different feeds for two people was about thirty dollars which isn’t so bad.
We saw a lot of animals in the walking area. They usually have an area you can drive through but due to the weather this year, it was shut down until next year. We still had fun though.
Liliana and I got to feed the animals. She’s more of a let me stick my hand out and you guys can slobber all over them.
Whereas I was not wanting them to lick or touch me at all. There are many pictures of my face in disgust that Lily took but I don’t think the world needs that. There was a moment where a goat got so overly excited he jumped out and I dropped about half the feed all over the floor from being startled.
We bought the extra feeding for the butterflies which is essentially just sponge painting brushes soaked in Gatorade. All the butterflies were the same colour which was a bummer but they were still pretty. They kept sticking to me like glue. Either they love my dress and think they’re real flowers or because I give off a sweet scent. hehe
We stopped by the Farmer’s Market to see what we can get but realized we’d be out and about for a few hours more. We had to say no to the fresh produce but they did have a store inside with jars of picked things and little knickknacks. Lily picked up some special powder gum she’s been craving, else, we said goodbye to the beautiful foods.
We drove to Garretsville, Ohio. I Saw this cute, scary tunnel and snapped a photo. When we got to our destination we realized everything was pretty much closed. Instead we picked up some gas station snacks and headed back home. We stopped by Wal-Mart and Aldi’s for magnet search and some groceries on the way.
We had no luck with the magnet so last resort was the Market Square. They didn’t have any magnets but did have the oldest continuously operating soda fountain from 1930s as well as over 100,000 used books. Lily and I each got a milkshake and enjoyed them while looking at greeting cards. Since this place is pretty old, they had some old school cards which we thought were adorably cute and ended up buying a few.
When we got back home, Daniel was waiting for us with the pups. He grabbed the groceries and got to work. The appetizer was so refreshing that I want to recreate it when I get home. The entree was perfectly cooked and paired with a local wine and I was sad to eat it all so fast. I slowly ate to savour everything before it was gone forever.
We sat around talking about places we want to go to and other mish mash of talk. Tomorrow’s my last day and it’ll be a relaxing one. I am already dreading going back to work.
