Vacation Adventures with Denise and Dan

We had such a great time with Denise and Dan while they were here. I really wish that we lived closer to them and to Diane... hopefully some day soon. We visited the Columbus Rose Garden one day...

Nora was such a pain to walk this day. You can see from this picture
just how much she was tugging on the leash. 

... We went to Amish country another day (although I barely took any photos)... 

... We visited Columbus's North Market for lunch...

... Took them to The Book Loft in German Village, where we bought some books, and I bought a calendar of what apparently I alone find to be hilarious dog photos...

 

... And experienced our first multiple-day power outage...

Nora could tell something was going down

And then there was darkness. Except for this firefly.... :)

Denise and Nora comforting each other :)

And after about 50 hours we had power again!

After Denise and Dan left, we had another storm, and a tree outside our bedroom window fell, thankfully away from our house. These past few storms have been intense!

But we're safe, and we're getting back into our normal routine after a wonderful vacation. Now off to get our gym membership to hopefully reverse the effect of our multiple meals of pizza...
