Kitsch At It's Finest. Blanchester, Ohio's Giant Horseshoe Crab.

Outside of the Freedom Baptist Church in Blanchester, Ohio is a giant horseshoe crab.
Meet Crabby. The world's largest horseshoe crab. 68 feet long, and 28 feet wide. It is one of MANY crazy road side attractions that makes Ohio so entertaining.


This is not only a statue. It is a theater as well! With a ceiling that is about 12-13 feet high, and a movie screen, and about enough room to fit about 60 people.**



It is a place you just have to see for yourself.

Welcome to my house. The video tour.

This video is for my family and friends who do not live near me. This is what my street looks like. It looks like something out of a horror movie. :)
I also made some video of the inside of the house. That will be for another day.

Memorial Day weekend part 2

I know, it is already July, but I had other things to blog about. Anyway, here is some more vacation photos.

Here is the Marblehead lighthouse. It is the only lighthouse in Ohio. It is quite pretty. This looks like a professional photograph, but it isn't. I took it. I got lucky.

The water was ice cold. I stood on rocks, and let some of the waves hit me. That didn't last too long. :)

Travis took this picture. I think it is a good one. It makes me want to own a sail boat.


And here comes the ferry, to take us to the island.


Gilligan's Island?

That was not our destination. Our destination was another mile or 2 away.

This is where we ended up...


We got to ride in a cute little tour bus, and we ended up in a cave.

The cave got a little too claustrophobic, so we decided to sneek out early.
We hopped back on the tour bus wagon.
We went down a lot of roads that look like this.

This isn't a big deal, since every road in Ohio looks like this.

We ended up at a wal-mart, because I forgot my hoodie at home. I needed a jacket, it got chilly. This is where I saw an amazing sunset. There was a forest fire in Michigan, which contributed to the vivid colors of this sunset.


I will continue this later. This is like the Memorial Blog Trilogy. HAHA

The Mushroom House of Hyde Park Cincinnati.

There are so many reasons I love Cincinnati, and this piece of architecture is one of those reasons.






This house was designed by late Terry Brown, and architect and professor of Architecture and Interior Design at the University of Cincinnati. This was built with the help of his students in 2006. Brown sadly passed away in 2008.


The house sold for around $400,000.00
