Birthday Fun

Birthdays are kinda a big deal in our house.  Pre-Ashton, Jeff and I always planned a trip away to celebrate.  This year, we decided to continue the tradition, spending the weekend in Columbus to celebrate Jeff’s birthday. 

We had lots of fun exploring and eating our way around Columbus.  On Saturday, we stopped in a small town called Powell (it  had to be good!) to have ice cream and then spent the afternoon at the Columbus Zoo.  Ashton had lots of fun at the zoo although it was roasty toasty that day so many of the animals were resting in the shade.  Saturday evening, we went to Columbus Brewing (the birthday boy’s request!) and had some very tasty beers and food.  Ashton loved it also and made friends with several of the surrounding tables.  He’s such a flirt!  On Sunday, we drove around OSU’s campus and checked out the football stadium (which is massive – think Roman Coliseum!) and stopped at an old German restaurant called Schmidt’s for lunch.  Schmidt’s appeared on Man vs. Food not too long ago and I’m happy to report that we gave Adam Richman a run for his money as we plowed our way through the buffet line.  It was yummy!
