Columbus Ohio Trip (7)

 Back for more pics of my trip to Columbus.

 It's like something out of a magazine isn't it?

 This was the view outside my hotel.

 Melt. A restaurant featured on Man vs Food. I'd been looking for it the whole week!

 It was hidden behind another store front, which is why I could never find it.

 But on week two I was finally able to spot it and walked in.

 Some wild decorations on the inside.

 But the food was phenomenal!

 This was from Piada. Italian street food is what they called it. It was pretty good.

And that was a weird car I saw while walking around. Never seen anything like it before. Don't know who makes it or why someone would buy one.

Happy Labor Day!

Let's just call it for what it really is and enjoy the moment.

Have a good one folks!

Happy Anniverary to the Bub!

Happy Anniversary to my little pain in the neck!

Here she is driving her nephew around in my car while I was in Columbus.

She's happy because she's driving my car....and I'm not around to stop her.

But she's not smiling today! LOL

 While driving around I came across a German restaurant name Schmits.

 Amazing German food! I loved it!

 And their cream puffs were gigantic!

 They were all dressed in German outfits.

 And sold sausage from the front of the store like a deli.

 Outside the roads were made of brick.

 It was an incredible place to visit!

 Look at those sidewalks!

 This was a gift shop.

And here was the front of the store.

Fun stuff!

 I ate at the Cheescake factory for the firs time as well when I was there.

 In this courtyard they held weekly concerts and family movie nights. It was wild how down to earth things felt.

 The B&N was huge!

 They also had a miniature train track set up.

 Pretty cool, I have to admit.

 Visited a comic shop over the weekend.

 And another board game store!!!

 The houses were old but beautiful looking!

 Took a few pics while driving around.

I'll come back tomorrow with more!

 More pics from Ohio!

 This was a restaurant I ate at later on in the week. What a strange sign. I had no idea how it tied to their product.

 This was my view every afternoon after work. I'd come out here and watch the water fountain. It was nice.

 Megan told me I could feel free to get her anything from this store.

 The fountain area was my favorite spot to hang out.

 Though I walked around constantly to get some exercise in every day.

 The outside of the theater.

 I made the mistake of sending Megan these pictures while I was there.

 Now she wants us to move.

But Ohio wasn't THAT nice!

See you tomorrow folks!

 I went to an place that sells old toys, while I was there.

 Picked up a few Pound Puppies for Megan.

 They had some amazing stuff there.

 The original Slave 1 toy.

They had vehicles hanging all over the store. It looked great!

 I went to a board game cafe afterwards. Had a GREAT time! Over 400 games in stock!

 Plus cool sodas to boot. You can't beat that!

 Also had a place called the "16 Bit Bar" that has wrestler drink specials, plays old Star Trek episodes on giant TV screens and is surrounded with old school arcade games that are free to play! (I got the 2nd highest score on Burgertime there)

 Afterwards I stopped and grabbed a T-Dog from Filthy Franks. It was tasty!

And the next morning started off my day with something called "Cloud 9 Pancakes" they were great. And though it doesn't look that big on the plate I couldn't finish the whole thing. Very filling!

More tomorrow!
