On Friday night we headed to El Vaquero, a mexican restaurant right down the street from us, and then headed to Goodale Park for a short stroll to walk off all the rice and beans! The next day, we started off with a visit to Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace. (Side note: For those of you that have never eaten here, you must! It is what I would call a 'gourmet hot dog restaurant', if you've ever heard of such a thing, but the hot dog concoctions are out of this world! There are so many good dogs to choose from AND, if you are vegetarian, you can replace the normal all beef hot dog with a tofurkey veggie dog! You have to look at the menu here. It.is.amazing!)
After we were stuffed with hot dogs, we headed to Jeni's ice cream. (Another Columbus, OH must eat.) And, since there's always room for ice cream, we sampled and taste tested and bought a little scoop for each of us! We spent the rest of the day making cupcakes and guacamole (ignore the weird combination) for a Father's Day picnic we were attending on Sunday, ordered Donatos pizza (yet another Cbus, OH must eat), shared a bottle of wine, celebrated Grampy's birthday, and watched The Fighter.
On Sunday, we celebrated all of our Fathers and Grandfathers at said picnic which was complete with all the summer essentials: a pool, lemonade, iced tea, tons of good food, great company, and even squirt guns! It was a fantastic way to celebrate the day and lovely end to a magnificent weekend!
It was so wonderful to see you both, Grammie & Grampy!
(Our weekend appears to be food driven, but I can assure you it was 'spending quality time but also needing to eat' driven! Plus, we had so many good things to introduce to our visitors, and you've got to experience the local cuisine when you are on vacation, right?!)
