Spring Break

We took another trip to Columbus, the second in about seven months. Why? People ask us that. It's not too far from home and there's a lot to do there. What? People ask. This time we explored German Village (brick overabundancies, and beautiful), the 32-room bookstore in German Village, COSI (children's interactive science museum), Easton Town Center (shopping district that's ridiculously large), Franklin Conservancy and Botanical Gardens (house of plants) and the hotel pool (really huge for a hotel pool). COSI was way too crowded to safely navigate or enjoy; the botanical garden was almost too crowded to enjoy. We returned to the sushi bar (a restaurant that I believe is called "Sushi Bar;" either that or "Japanese Oriental Restaurant") and Easton Town Center (we still haven't seen the whole shopping center, despite this being our second trip). It was a typical family vacation --- map-dependent adventures (Columbus is relatively easy to navigate, but bringing a co-pilot is useful), good food, squabbling children, parent exhaustion, desperation, shared bathroom, foreign territory ...... return home (cat hungry). Ah, vacation.
