Living in a Tourist Spot

-

    If you are not familiar with Hocking Hills it is a national state park located in Logan, Ohio. I live here and I get a lot of questions about do I go hiking a lot, what is it like living in a tourist spot, and wow you are lucky to live there! Thinking about all these comments I reflected on what it was like living in Hocking Hills when I was younger to now.

I realized that so much has changed from when I was a little girl to being a woman now. Back in the day, we didn't have as many boutique shops and little restaurants to eat at along with so many coffee places. Ever since 2020, Hocking Hills has been thriving all year around. It makes me very happy about the place that I live in along with seeing it grow throughout the years. 

I do have some favorite spots and things to do in Hocking Hills:

1. Going to the Coffee Emporium and getting the Whispering White Mocha Iced with almond milk. It is one of my favorite coffee choices that I have ever had in my life which I don't know why but it has just the right mixture in it.

2. Hiking from Old Man's Cave to Cedar Falls. This hike will make your legs feel like jelly after it! I love this hike so much because of the scenery and it is a good mixture of having a little bit of climbing to just walking at the end, but it depends on if you take the easy way first or the harder part first.

3. Festivals. Whenever there is a festival in town it is always a great time to see all the tourists walking around and getting to talk with them about where they have been or where they are going.

In all, I have seen growth in Logan for so many years and I am excited to see what it will look like in the next couple of years!

    I love going to Hocking Hills! The hiking trails are so beautiful in the fall especially, even though they can be somewhat difficult. Old Man's Cave to Cedar Falls always makes me exhausted but it is always worth it! I also love going to Ash Cave, as it is the perfect spot to have a picnic in the summer!

Easter Weekend!

     Hey, guys welcome back to my blog! I hope everyone had a good Easter this past weekend because I did! Let me tell you what I did this Easter weekend! Friday, I got to see my aunt, uncle and little cousin. They are from Maryland and they just bought a camper so they brought it to Ohio with them so they could go camping and for my family and I to check it out which was pretty nice! Later in the day, we went on an easter egg hunt for my nephew and my cousin. I didn't know that it was the first Easter egg hunt that my town put on which was a great turnout but was pretty crazy when the kids went to get the eggs. I am going to tell you it was like the "Hunger Games." Saturday, my family and I colored goose eggs, duck eggs and chicken eggs for Easter this year which was pretty interesting. We even colored them differently this year by using shaving cream and food coloring, the eggs turn out pretty well! Sunday, we woke up pretty early to find our Easter baskets and do an Ea

      A couple weeks ago I went to Bellefontaine with my friends. We usually try to plan things every weekend to keep us busy but this time we decided to go to Bellefontaine again! This time on this trip we had a couple of things planned but not a ton so the first thing we got was some hot chocolate because it was a cold day then we went shopping. We looked at antique shops and little small business shops. All the shops that we went to were very cute and we had a lot of fun! I got a shirt at an antique shop so did my friends too! A couple hours later, we went to my friend Maddie's house to have dinner. For dinner, we had chicken alfredo with garlic bread and my friends and I ate all the garlic bread! Later that night, we planned on going to Maddie's sister's play which was a musical called "Into the Woods." The play was amazing with the actors, actresses, and the decorations too! After the play, Maddie's sister was so excited and happy to see us and we were ha

ONU Life Week 1

A week ago, I came back early for track, but I can tell you it was weird but nice to be back on campus before everyone else came back to campus. Then a week later class started, my first day back for the second semester at Ohio Northern University was kind of overwhelming from a month break to rolling into the next semester. I have to say my professors wasted no time to start their classes. Right off the back, they had me doing assignments that were literally due next week! But that is not even the most overwhelming thing that happen that week. What made my week was not being able to buy my books. You might say buying your books for class should be easy, well your wrong. I tried buying my books probably three times online and it failed because the server wasn't working so I had to walk to the ONU Bookstore to see if they could help me. But you probably think "Oh she went in and they got it fixed for her right away." Let me tell you I went back to the bookstore probably se
