Gahanna, OH.

Don't eat the yellow snow.  Or that questionable crusty stuff on the side.

 

 

 

 

I have very little to say about this one.  If there's a "ho-hum" sort of place to go, it's Gahanna, OH.

 

 

 

I flew into Port Columbus Airport.  This is a REALLY clean airport!!  I was impressed that the Starbuck's inside this airport has large bags of used grounds to take home for your garden.  This makes sense to me, but I've never actually SEEN a Starbuck's do this before.  Very cool.  I would have expected to see this in Minneapolis/St. Paul which seems to be a very green area - not at all the impression I got in Columbus/Gahanna.

 

 

 

 

I stayed at the Hampton Inn next to the airport; which was surprisingly quiet considering it was under construction and I was almost on to the runway.  Hey!  I didn't get ear plugs this time, but I didn't need them either.  This Hampton Inn offers an airport shuttle and a social shuttle where they will take you anywhere within a 10 mile radius for free. 

 

Let's talk about food... I was really not impressed!  I no longer question how people in colder regions "plump up" for the winter... they do seem to love their carbs.  Get off the plane and there's a Tim Horton's right in your face.  Go to Bob Evan's and you can get slow roasted turkey with stuffing on top of mashed potatoes on top of Texas toast.  REALLY?  I love carbs as much as the next girl but gah dang.

 

It was really cold and we had some snow on this trip, so I didn't get out much but I did find the Airport Golf Course nearby.  I might have to check that out next time, and it seems this will now be part of my territory - so there will be a next time.

 

This was a short trip for me, so I will call this one "to be continued"...
