California Pizza Kitchen

Recently, Stephen and I had the chance to check out the newly renovated California Pizza Kitchen at Polaris. I’ve always liked CPK, but, if I am being honest, I haven’t been in a few years. My, oh, my. CPK has changed or maybe I wasn’t remembering what they offer correctly! […]

Chinese Lanterns

We checked out the Ohio Chinese Lantern Festival a few weeks ago and were once again blown away!

Rockin’ Jump – Westerville

Trampoline parks are one of my favorite activities for both children and adults. They are a great workout, but, are disguised as fun – what could be more perfect? Rockin’ jump in Westerville is the newest to the trampoline park scene and they ‘rock.’ Their main jump area is located […]
