American Sign Museum, 1330 Monmouth Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45225, (513)-541-6366,  https://www.americansignmuseum.org/ "What is the American Sign Museum? The American Sign Museum is dedicated to the art and history of signs and sign making.  The museum is proud to be the largest public museum dedicated to signs in the United States!  Covering more than 100 years of American sign history in 20,000 square feet of indoor space, the museum is a walk through the ages of sign technologies and designs. Some signs, still in their original shipping crates, remain pristine. Others proudly retain a weathered look. The storefront-laden Signs on Main Street display recreates a typical Main Street Any-Town USA, with shop windows full of sign-related artifacts. Current sign artisans have added to Main Street's "look" by creating "distressed" signs to reflect the time period. See if you can tell which signs are which! Look for the revolving si...

Tour Airstream: 419 West Pike Street, P.O. Box 629, Jackson Center, Ohio 45334. It's a FREE tour. Just bring your camera and great walking shoes. Such a fun tour, we have never had an airstream, but the oldies are sure awesome to see. Do you own an airstream? Know anyone who does? You can not take pics within the factory tour ...these shots are outside and ones they do allow. I now own a "Life Is Good" Airstream t-shirt, sure awesome. I love wearing my camping shirts while we travel. SO FUN!!! Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are well today. Take Care. Beth ( :

Kewpee Hamburgers, Lima, Ohio,  https://kewpeehamburgers.com/ Please be sure to go to their website to see the original restaurant (they have several must see locations) and how it all got started. So amazing!!! When we see an original food location, it is so exciting.... HISTORY in the making, and let me tell ya the drive in line was around the block, the line in the restaurant was so long as well, so they must be doing something right??!

Adirondack Experience - The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, NY, 12812. (518)352-7311,  https://www.theadkx.org/ Do you ever go to a museum and you just don't have the time to put into it that you need? I was so frustrated, such a sad face over that one. I am trying to recall over my lifetime (40 years now, several days there) that I have had to turn around and leave because we don't have enough time to cover the place??! It doesn't happen that often that I know of??! (this is totally why kids roll on the floor and have a tantrum, i get it!! you are visiting and you want to fit all this stuff, these activities into your visit and there is never enough time!! I could cry now, I so wanted to go. I wanna see this area in the snow time. wouldn't that be awesome!! so cool!) They recommend at least 2 hours to see everything at this one. So we given permission to go to their "The Lake View Cafe" to have some pie and drinks. At least we got t...

Great Camp Sagamore, NY

Great Camp Sagamore, 1105 Sagamore Rd, Raquette Lake, NY. 13436. " Built in 1897 by visionary great camps designer William West Durant on 1,526 acres of remote wilderness in the Adirondack Park, Great Camp Sagamore was a wilderness retreat for the Vanderbilt family for half a century.  It is now a National Historic Landmark managed by a non-profit educational institution as a public trust. " https://greatcampsagamore.org/ It is amazing the history, the architecture that is around this park. So amazing. I really enjoyed our visit there!!! I think my most favorite area or section would be the bowling alley, can you imagine having your very own bowling alley? Took think of how many years it has been around and still looks in pretty good condition compared to other areas or buildings, so wild!! Now they do have side that sort of hang over to keep the snow from falling into the bowling alley there, but that just blows my mind to think of the horrible  Adir...

Golden Beach Campground, NY

Golden Beach Campground, Raquette Lake, New York, 13436. (315)354-4230, Adirondack Park region of New York State. Just a heads up, in case you are thinking let me go camping in New York State, they don't have electric sites ...you do have to be sure to charge your electronic while driving in case you need them every night??! I always have a plan when I leave home that I will read my hand held books, 'cause they are piling up, and for a person who is use to using her kindle at night, 'cause it is lit up by light ... reading at night using a normal book is a way step back. So I tend to read outdoors or when we are camping 'cause that means I have light right on me, not this trip ...so the stack of books will have to wait. LOL! It is a great way to get away and just decompress from life. have a great day. i appreciate your comments. see ya again real soon. Beth ( ; 

Little Pine State Park, PA

Little Pine State Park, Pennsylvania, 4205 Little Pine Creek Rd, Waterville, Pennsylvania. 17776, (570)753-6000. Yes, we did in fact look for some little pines? But the ones we did find were all big and tall??! They had a recent terrible storm, you could see some flooding issues, rocks moved and all that silliness that kind of weather does to the land??! and had to re-plant ...sorry don't know the right word to say they had to replace (move) all of their tombstones within the state park ...they are within the campground. I need to investigate those and see how they were placed there, we guessed it had to do with the ones who owned the land at one time? Our kayaking trip was a short one, later evening before the sun went down, like an after dinner mint, lots of bugs but it was fun to see some eagles flying around ...they were too quick. I did get some shots but they are not very clear. have a great day. i appreciate your comments. see ya again real soon. Beth ( ; ...
