ready, set, go!

A road trip is always a good thing. Even a short one. And that's just what my cousin, keepin up with the Jones' and I did. She brought along her three girls, I brought along my boxing buddy Pug Pal, and off we took on a four day trip from Ohio to Michigan and back. We left on the morning of March 26, making a stop in Kenton for a letterbox before we headed to Findlay, Ohio.

We had a little trouble with finding the Oakwoods Nature Preserve and had to get some help from the friendly people at H&R Block. They looked the park up on their computer, and even copied the city map from the phone book for me...such sweet people! We made it to the park, and wow, it's beautiful. We plan on going back in warm weather to explore more of it. We found our letterboxes, and continued on to the next stop...Litzenberg Memorial Woods.

The trails at Litzenberg were muddy and in some spots covered in water. We maneuvered our way around the soggy places determined to find our treasure. We came upon a huge tree wonderfully sculpted by mother nature. Jones and her girls stepped inside for a photo. We found our boxes and on the way out let the little ones play at the play ground. We had been driving for awhile and still had much more time to spend in the car...they deserved some fun time. :)
