Ohio!

The first time I went to Ohio my mother had her midlife crisis during the 12+ hour drive. That was interesting. I can say that it didn't make me particularly excited about the state. 

However, since discovering the best thing to ever come out of Ohio*, I've actually come to think it's a pretty neat place. The land is beautiful (at least in the southeastern part of the state) and the people are kind, generous, and really good at cooking. yum.

Last weekend I was there with my sweet mother, grandmother, and fiance for a wedding shower thrown by my soon-to-be mother-, grandmother-, and aunt- in-law. Despite my minor, yet constant public-present-opening anxiety, it was a lot of fun, especially because my (little?) Buddy got to be there with me.
